Fallout: CITY SC Sleeps through Seattle but Löwen's return sparks hope

Bleav + Flyover Footy — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 14:55:06 GMT

St. Louis CITY SC falls to Seattle 4-1 and continues their streak of losses at Lumen Field. Matt Baker returns to recap this one with Santiago Beltran, and while there's a lot of problems to look at, it wasn't all bad. This match also featured the emotional return of Eduard Löwen and we were treated to a reminder of why he's such a special player on the field, as he scored just 3 minutes into his return!
