CITY SC: What we’ve witnessed through the first five games

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - With its most recent 4-0 win against Real Salt Lake, St. Louis CITY SC starts the MLS season with a perfect 5-0-0 record. The club joins the 1996 LA Galaxy team and the 2012 Sporting Kansas City team as the only clubs to have collected 15 points in their first five matches of a season in MLS history. And in case you forgot, St. Louis is the sole MLS expansion team to start an inaugural season with four straight wins.
