SAINT PAUL, Minn. (AP) — João Klauss scored in the 64th minute, Njabulo Blom added another nine minutes later for his first MLS goal and St. Louis City beat Minnesota 2-1 on Saturday night to snap a four-game winless stretch. St. Louis City (16-10-5) tied LAFC’s 2018 record of 16 wins by an expansion club in their inaugural season. Minnesota (9-11-10) had won its last three matches against expansion sides, including a 1-0 victory over St. Louis on April 1. The Loons have only allowed three goals in their six meetings with expansion teams since 2020. The Loons have lost consecutive regular-season home matches for the first time since losing to Real Salt Lake and Austin in April-May 2021.
