What happened: Goalkeeper Ben Lundy brought Roman Bürki's jersey to the stage as St. Louis City celebrated its penalty-shootout victory over Columbus in the U.S. Open Cup final, per Tom Bogert. Bürki took a knee to the head after making a one-on-one save earlier in the match and exited before the decisive shootout.

Why it matters: The U.S. Open Cup championship is the first trophy in St. Louis City history under head coach Yoann Damet. Bürki's one-on-one stop kept St. Louis level so the club could reach penalties and claim the title.

What to watch: St. Louis City awaits an official club update on Bürki's status following his exit in the final.
