Story summary

Roman Bürki, the St. Louis City goalkeeper, was stretchered off during the U.S. Open Cup final on Wednesday after taking a knee to the head while making a save late in the second half of regulation. The team confirmed that Bürki was alert and in good spirits on Thursday morning but had been taken to a local hospital for evaluation and testing due to his head injury. St. Louis City ultimately won the match against the Columbus Crew via penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw, with backup goalkeeper Ben Lundt making a crucial save during the shootout. The team celebrated their first-ever trophy while honoring Bürki by holding up his jersey. With four games remaining in the regular season and St. Louis City preparing for the playoffs, the potential loss of Bürki is concerning as he was key to their 21-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
