St. Louis City defeated Colorado Rapids 1–0 in an MLS encounter where the hosts dominated possession and created significantly more chances. St. Louis controlled 66 per cent of the ball and registered 19 shots, though only three found the target, generating 1.03 expected goals from their 3-4-3 setup. Colorado offered minimal attacking threat, mustering just two shots with none on target and accumulating only 0.11 xG from their 4-3-3 formation. The Rapids' goalkeeper faced three shots on target and saved two, recording a 66.67 per cent save percentage, though the performance left them 0.91 xG conceded, suggesting St. Louis could have won by a larger margin. Nabil Bensalah oversaw a one-sided contest where the visitors created almost nothing in open play. The clean sheet consolidates St. Louis's position while Colorado's inability to generate chances raises concerns about their attacking output.
