This week, we reach the end. St. Louis CITY SC fell 2-1 to Sporting KC and have been eliminated from the MLS Cup Playoffs. The historic inaugural season has reached its' conclusion and Matt and Santi are here one last time in 2023 to recap it all. CITY made it exciting, with some stellar play from Celio Pompeu and a second half surge, but while it wasn't enough, it won't take away from the historic season as a whole.
