St. Louis City dominated at CITYPARK to claim a comfortable 3-1 victory over New England on Saturday. The hosts came out sharp and built a 2-1 lead by half-time, then sealed the win with a third goal after the break. Despite being slightly outpossessed, City made their chances count with six shots on target compared to New England's two, while Marcel Hartel proved the standout performer throughout, controlling the tempo in midfield with intelligent movement and distribution. The Revolution had their moments and pulled level at one point, but couldn't sustain the pressure needed to trouble the home side's defence. City's dominance was evident in the corner count too, winning six to three. It was a well-deserved three points for the hosts and a disappointing day for New England, who offered little resistance in the second half as the home crowd got behind their team.
