Match Recap
St. Louis City turned a tight first half into a rout, and Cato Holse got it rolling in the 41st minute before Toronto FC could settle. Torbjorn Totland doubled the lead nine minutes into the second half, and Simon Becher put it beyond doubt in the 68th to make it 3-1. The result tracks the table: St. Louis City sit fifth on 41 points with three wins in five and a form line of WDWDW, while Toronto FC, mid-table on 29 points despite a win of their own last time out, couldn't carry that momentum into Major League Soccer's Midwest. None of the scorers crack the league's top ten, where L. Messi's 50 goals remain untouched, but this was a complete team performance rather than a one-man show. Three different names on the scoresheet in a 27-minute stretch is the kind of spell that decides points in this league. Catch Holse's opener, Totland's strike, and Becher's finish in the highlights below, back to back to back, exactly as St. Louis City delivered them.
