Despite Melton's attendance, St. Louis played spoiler in the Bay Area. In just the eighth minute, Daniel Edelman opened the scoring with a goal to take a 1-0 lead for the away team. Simon Becher added another goal for St. Louis City SC in the 27th minute to take a dominant 2-0 lead. Just out of halftime, Beau Leroux knocked in a goal for San Jose to cut into the St. Louis lead. However, Becher completed his brace with a dagger goal in the 55th minute. St. Louis hung on to win over San Jose, 3-1.
