Holse, St. Louis City beat Galaxy 6-2, tie MLS record for longest unbeaten streak at 20 games
LOUIS (AP) — Carlo Holse scored three goals in the first 21 minutes and had the second hat trick in club history to help St. Louis City beat the LA Galaxy 6-2 on Sunday night to extend their unbeaten streak across all competitions to 20 games and tie the MLS record.
Carlo Holse scored three goals in the first 21 minutes and set the stage for St. Louis City's dominant performance against the LA Galaxy on Sunday night. The St. Louis City team extended their unbeaten streak to 20 games across all competitions, tying the MLS record previously held by the New York Red Bulls. St. Louis, currently at 14-6-8, dominated the match with Holse opening the scoring in the second minute and adding a second goal in the seventh minute, followed by another goal at the 21-minute mark.
Rafael Navarro added two assists, while Lukas MacNaughton scored with a diving header in the seventh minute of first-half stoppage time. Roman Bürki made five crucial saves throughout the match.
The Galaxy, who scored three goals in the first 16 minutes of a thrilling 5-1 win over Chicago on July 17, 2021, struggled to find the back of the net. Kyōgo Furuhashi left the game in the 10th minute due to an apparent hamstring injury and was replaced by João Klauss, who scored the Galaxy's lone goal in the 71st minute to tie the score at 3-3. Robert Taylor scored the last goal for the Galaxy in the 31st minute.
With the victory, St. Louis City secured a memorable win over their rivals, while the LA Galaxy will look to bounce back in their next match, hosting Portland on Wednesday. St. Louis, meanwhile, will host Vancouver on the same date.
