St. Louis CITY SC and FC Dallas finished 3-3 after FC Dallas scored a 97th-minute equalizer. Postgame coach Damet said, "For sure there is handball. Those are decisions that affect the game. Simon fouled 5 times…" asserting officiating changed the outcome. Multiple posts and a shared replay showed an apparent deliberate handball by Dallas, the ball on top of the line was trapped with a hand and then kicked away by Wallem, but the referee neither called it nor triggered VAR before Dallas scored. St. Louis outshot its xG 1.77 to Dallas 0.79 in the match. A stlsoccer.wiki post noted this was the first stoppage-time goal St. Louis City has conceded this season. Critics also flagged a thin bench and late-game fatigue as factors that cost St. Louis points despite the home side's stronger underlying numbers.
