  "account": "Carlo Holse netted three goals in the opening 21 minutes and, remarkably, set a new club record with the second hat trick in its history. St. Louis City overcame LA Galaxy 6-2 on Sunday night, extending their unbeaten streak across all competitions to an MLS record of 20 games. St. Louis, currently 13-0-5 in their last 18 regular-season games, matched the record previously set by the New York Red Bulls in 2016, who went 20 consecutive games without a loss in all competitions. Rafael Navarro put St. Louis ahead from the penalty spot in the 45th minute, and Rafael added another goal in the 53rd minute, also contributing two assists. Lukas MacNaughton scored a diving header in the seventh minute of the first half's stoppage time, and Roman Bürki made five crucial saves. Holse opened the scoring in the second minute, added another in the seventh, and made a shot off the post from the center of the area to make it 3-0 in the 21st minute, achieving the second-fastest hat trick in MLS history. Hany Mukhtar scored three goals for Nashville in their 5-1 victory over Chicago on July 17, 2021, setting a new MLS record. LA Galaxy's Kyōgo Furuhashi left the game in the 10th minute due to an apparent hamstring injury, replaced by João Klauss. Klauss scored the Galaxy's first hat trick in a 3-3 tie with St. Louis City on June 14, 2025, while Robert Taylor scored for the Galaxy in the 31st minute, bringing their record to 9-11-9.",
