Brendan McSorley scores late in stoppage time to help St. Louis City earn 1-1
draw with NYCFC
NEW YORK (AP) --- Brendan McSorley scored in the sixth minute of second-half
stoppage time to rally St. Louis City to a 1-1 draw with New York City FC on
Saturday night at Citi Field.
Neither team found the net until Hannes Wolf took a pass from Maxi Moralez six
minutes into the second half and scored his second goal of the season to give
NYCFC (3-1-2) the lead. Moralez and the New England Revolution's Luca Langoni
lead the league with five assists.
That was it until McSorley got some help from defender Lukas MacNaughton and
Conrad Wallem to net his first goal this season and his third in 14 appearances
with two starts for St. Louis City (1-3-2). McSorley subbed in for Simon Becher
in the 80th minute before delivering the equalizer in St. Louis City's first
trip to the Big Apple. MacNaughton earned his first assist in his 63rd career
appearance. Wallem notched his first after tallying four as a rookie last
season.
Matt Freese finished with two saves for NYCFC.
Roman Brki turned away six shots for St. Louis City. Brki had his first clean
sheet in a 2-0 victory over visiting NYCFC in March of 2024 in the only other
meeting between the clubs..
St. Louis City scored three unanswered goals to beat the New England Revolution
3-1 last time out for the club's first victory of the campaign.
Alonso Martnez was one of five NYCFC players who sat out the match with leg
injuries.
