St. Louis City SC achieved a rare 2-0 victory over Montreal, their first road win since March 9 and first away shutout since March 15, ending a nine-game losing streak on the road.

Midfielder Marcel Hartel scored the second goal, assisted by Klauss and Sangbin Jeong, demonstrating effective teamwork and creative play that have been vital for City SC's rare wins this season.

Defender Conrad Wallem scored his first MLS goal, contributing to the clean sheet and boosting team confidence, especially after recent defensive struggles.

Interim coach David Critchley emphasized the win as a significant building block in a tough season, highlighting progress and the need for consistent results.

Key defensive plays included Fallou Fall’s crucial clearance to prevent a Montreal goal, showcasing his growth after recent errors, and Henry Kessler’s mistake that nearly led to a Montreal goal before Fall's intervention.

The recent match highlighted the importance of defensive solidity and teamwork, with coach Critchley praising players like Fallou Fall for their growth and adaptability, which helped secure the team's first clean sheet in a long time.

This victory was crucial for City SC, which was near the bottom of the league standings and fighting to avoid last place, as it created a four-point cushion over Los Angeles Galaxy.
