Sept. 17 (2016)

A club-record crowd of 6,004 packs World Wide Technology Soccer Park to see St. Louis FC entertain Louisville City. The sellout crowd is about the only positive development for the home team as it loses, 5-1, and is eliminated from contention for a berth in the United Soccer Leagues playoffs. Jordan Roberts pleases the home fans with a 17th-minute goal. But things turn ugly following the ejection of St. Louis FC’s James Musa in the 35thminute. The visitors capitalize on their man advantage with five unanswered goals. Future St. Louis FC player Kadeem Dacres puts Lou City on the board in the 38th minute and Cameron Lancaster scores on a penalty kick in the 41st minute. Magnus Rasmussen adds two goals and Ilija Ilic one in the second half. Lou City improves its record to 15-6-8 and St. Louis FC falls to 8-12-9. Louisville City will lose in the USL semifinals on Oct. 16 to eventual USL champion New York Red Bulls II.
