St. Louis CITY SC faced a tough defeat at the hands of the Portland Timbers, losing 2-1 at Providence Park. Despite outshooting the Timbers nine to five in the first half, CITY SC's hard work was rewarded when Akil Watts scored his first career MLS goal in the 50th minute. However, Portland equalized shortly after, and David Ayala sealed the victory in second-half stoppage time.

Brendan McSorley made his first MLS appearance for CITY SC, marking the first time they have failed to pick up at least one point at Providence Park since 2023. Caretaker manager David Critchley praised the team's back four for their defensive efforts, noting that they had been creating more chances and playing more strategically under his tutelage.

The team's recent performances under Critchley have been encouraging, with an increase in possession and goal scoring opportunities. As CITY SC prepares to face the LA Galaxy next on June 14, the team is optimistic about their future, with Critchley emphasizing the importance of staying positive and excited about their progress.

The match was marked by several yellow cards, including one for Antony of the Timbers. The loss underscores the challenges faced by CITY SC under Critchley, but the team remains committed to their strategy and is poised for future success.
