The highly anticipated match between St. Louis City SC and the LA Galaxy at Energizer Park on June 14, 2025, saw an early breakthrough as Joao Klauss found the back of the net, giving the home side a 1-0 lead. The goal, scored in the 35th minute, ignited the crowd and showcased the offensive capabilities of St. Louis City SC.

Klauss's goal was a result of slick link-up play in the box, with Marcel Hartel delivering a precise pass that Klauss expertly converted. The goal marked another significant moment for Klauss, who previously scored against the San Jose Earthquakes in their 2-1 victory on May 31st. In that match, Klauss opened the scoring, demonstrating his knack for breaking stalemates and giving his team the advantage.

However, the Galaxy responded quickly. Just minutes after Klauss's goal, Marco Reus set up Gabriel Pec who scored the equalizer.

The match between St. Louis City SC and the LA Galaxy marks the sixth all-time MLS Regular Season meeting between the two clubs. Entering the match, the Galaxy trailed the series 0-2-3 (7 GF, 11 GA).
