St. Louis CITY SC and FC Dallas played to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night at Energizer Park. St. Louis took the lead in the 32nd minute when Célio Pompeu scored his second MLS goal of the season, assisted by Eduard Löwen. The goal came after Dallas goalkeeper Michael Collodi was sent off with a red card earlier in the half, forcing Dallas to play with ten men.

Dallas responded quickly, equalizing just three minutes later through Petar Musa, who converted a right-footed shot from the right side of the box. Chris Cappis provided the assist for Dallas' goal.

Eduard Löwen's assist marked his third of the 2025 MLS season and continued his run of form, having contributed to three goals in as many matches for St. Louis CITY SC (two goals and one assist). At Energizer Park, Löwen now has 28 goal contributions—12 goals and 16 assists—in 35 matches, which is the most all-time for any CITY player.
