VANCOUVER, B.C. - Let it be known, St. Louis CITY SC mean business.
After a week that saw them shell out $12 million to the Colorado Rapids in a cash-for-player trade for Rafael Navarro, the Missouri side picked up a massive 3–1 road win at Western Conference-leading Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
While Navarro and fellow new striker signing Damion Downs made their debuts off the bench, it was Simon Becher — scoring against his former team — Tomas Totland and Conrad Wallem who netted the goals that extended St. Louis's MLS-best unbeaten streak to 13 games.
With the win, CITY pushed into fifth in the West, level on points with FC Dallas for the coveted top-four spot among the Audi MLS Cup Playoff seeds. At the same time, it put their opponents on notice for trophy aspirations for the rest of the year.
