St. Louis City SC won their third successive game to tie the MLS record for wins to start the season by an expansion team.
Jared Stroud and Kyle Hiebert scored the goals for City as they defeated the Portland Timbers 2-1 on Saturday night, with the winner coming in the 75th minute. The Missouri team become only the second expansion team in MLS history to start with three straight wins - coming from behind in each one - while they are the only club with nine points from three games this season.
The Timbers took an early lead on Zac McGraw's header off a corner from Eryk Williamson in the third minute. Portland’s goal ensured the team maintained their record of 23 consecutive matches with a goal, which is the longest active streak in the league.
