A U.S. Open Cup title and a record unbeaten run
CITY SC enters the postseason as the winner of its first U.S. Open Cup and after recording a 21-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, which the club described as a league record. Club president and general manager Diego Gigliani said the season had already been history-making but that the team still had work ahead, citing “setting a league-record 21-match unbeaten streak across all competitions” and “capturing our first-ever U.S. Open Cup trophy.”
St. Louis is guaranteed one home match in the series and would host again only if a third game is needed. CITY SC must win two matches to advance, with the second game scheduled in Los Angeles.
