42’ | Blocked. Corner. 1-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

43’ | ⚽️ Goal: Corner deflected, hits Donovan’s arm. Referees unbothered. Stu Sain with a shot off Donovan. Shot takes a deflection, but is hit with enough power to travel on into the goal. 2-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

45+2’ | Tophoven with some nice vision to pick out Soczynski. Andrew’s cross is blocked for a corner. Corner sneaks through a crowd to Al-Abase. Al-Abase’s shot not on frame. 2-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

HALFTIME | Ouro and Sain on the scoresheet. A physical, end-to-end half on a hot night goes in our opponents’ favor. Time to regroup. 2-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

46’ | Second half underway. 2-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

46’ | ⚽️ Goal: Ozuzu toe-pokes a Donovan shot(?) that was going wide and the Crows have a mountain to climb. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

50’ | Moriera with a shot and Siefken with a fantastic top-hand save forcing the ball onto the bar with fingertips. The 2024 Golden Crow recipient isn’t done fighting. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

54’ | City’s all-time leading goal scorer, Will Kidd, checks into the game for St. Croix. ‘Sup Will. Still friends, always. Also, Tophoven rips a shot, just misses the frame. Probably our best chance, yet. Who knows, maybe we’ll build on it. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

61’ | Mitch Munzing checking in for B.A.R. C’mon Mitch… 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

74’ | Some Futures favor as Jordan Ross checks in. Also, a La Salle Explorer, Daniel Lainsbury. Give ‘em heck. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

77’ | Henri to Eli to Sidike and a booming shot is blocked. May have been headed in but alas, difficult to get the ball to pass through solid matter when a defender intervenes. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

82’ | More Futures flavor: Joe Swallen and Asher Johnson check into the game. Congrats on the senior team appearances, boys. Let’s try and claw one back. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

87’ | Evan Siefken, folks. Flying across goal after pressuring the ball to get down and deflect an open look from the penalty spot over the crossbar. No quit. Making the @MPLScitizens look quite wise with that Golden Crow award. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity

FINAL | Ouro, Sain and Ozuzu with goals for St. Croix. We did not get any goals. Rough one tonight, but thanks to all the fans that came out and were loud through the end of added time. 3-0 | #STCvMPLS | #FallingForCity
