Overview
- St. Louis beat the Colorado Rapids 1-0 on Saturday after Tomas Ostrak came off the bench to score in the 83rd minute and Rob Holding was sent off with a straight red in the 12th minute.
- The result extended St. Louis’s run to a seven-match points streak and a four-game winning streak in regular-season play.
- Statistically St. Louis dominated the match, outshooting Colorado 18-2 with no Rapids shots on target and goalkeeper Roman Bürki not called into action for a save.
- Colorado had shown life days earlier when debutant Loïc Williams scored a stoppage-time winner, and the Rapids had Wayne Frederick and Miguel Navarro return from suspension while St. Louis had Conrad Wallem back from concussion protocol.
- The two clubs will meet again in a U.S. Open Cup semifinal in September, and the result highlights how discipline, finishing and squad depth could shape both teams’ chances as the schedule tightens.
