Solans opened the scoring in the 41st minute from a Morgan Guilavogui assist. Dominik Marczuk made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute with a shot from outside the box, set up by Luc de Fougerolles, and Solans added his second in the 59th off a Saba Lobjanidze cross. [1][2][3]
The two goals gave Solans 14 MLS goals this season, the second most by a SuperDraft pick in his first season out of college, passing Duncan McGuire's 13 in 2023, according to Yahoo Sports. Goalkeeper Rafael Cabral made two saves, and RSL outshot St. Louis 20-3. [2][3]
RSL is 11-14-6 with 39 points, 10th in the West and one point behind ninth-place LA Galaxy, with nine teams per conference reaching the playoffs. RSL is unbeaten in three games. It plays at Austin FC on Wednesday and at San Jose next Saturday, and hosts the Galaxy on Nov. 7. [1][2][3]
