Mykhi Joyner converted a penalty deep into stoppage time to tie LAFC2 1-1, and CITY2 got a miss and a save from Christian Olivares to capture the extra point needed to claim the MLS NEXT Pro Supporter's Shield for 2025. This guarantees home field advantage throughout the NEXT Pro playoffs and choice of opponent.
CITY2 completes their regular season next Sunday on the road against Portland Timbers2 before returning to Energizer Park for Playoff Round 1.
THEY REFUSE TO LOSE AND OF COURSE IT'S MYKHI 😮@STLCITY2 forces the shootout in stoppage time!

They may not have broken their own record tonight, but the CITY2 crowd was ridiculous.
