Navarro Shines as St. Louis Holds Draw | MLS News

St. Louis City and Portland Timbers battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw, with Rafael Navarro lighting up his debut with two goals and Kristoffer Velde celebrating his 27th birthday by scoring twice, including the late equalizer. Despite falling short of three points, St. Louis extends their unbeaten run to 15 games — tying for the second-longest in MLS history. Navarro’s rapid-fire goals (34th and 51st minutes) were matched by Velde’s free kick (32nd) and dramatic 89th-minute equalizer. Both goalkeepers stood tall, but it was a gritty, back-and-forth affair that ended in a draw — St. Louis hosts Minnesota next, Portland heads to FC Dallas.
