St. Louis City SC’s dream of a playoff berth took a fatal blow on Saturday night as they fell 3-1 to Minnesota United at CityPark. The loss, coupled with Minnesota’s hold on the last playoff spot in the Western Conference, leaves City SC 11 points behind with just five games remaining.

Despite taking an early lead through a goal from Cedric Teuchert, City SC couldn’t maintain their advantage. They faced several setbacks, including a couple of calls against them by VAR, and ultimately fell victim to a strong performance by Minnesota.

City SC’s hopes were already dwindling after a string of draws, and this loss effectively ends their playoff aspirations for the 2024 season.

The defeat snapped City SC’s four-game unbeaten streak and their hopes of a return to the playoffs. They will now look to salvage some pride as they face San Jose on the road next week, hoping to secure their first road win of the season.

This result marks a stark contrast to last season, where City SC, as an expansion team, dominated the Western Conference in the regular season.
