St. Louis CITY SC falls 1-0 at home to the Seattle Sounders. Having no problem controlling the ball, a costly turnover early in the 2nd half led to increased difficulties with quality chances throughout. We break down the Starting XI, talk about Damet's postgame quotes that frame everything from sub choices to tactics and approaches. We're seeing real time the growth and evolution that CITY is undergoing, but it's coming at the expense of points early in the season. Flyover Footy has been covering St. Louis soccer since 2019.
