ST. LOUIS (AP) — Célio Pompeu scored his first goal of the season and Samuel Adeniran added his second goal in as many games to help St. Louis City beat New York City 2-0 Saturday night.

Pompeu raced toward the goal and into the heart of the defense before slipping a shot inside the near post to give St. Louis City (1-0-1) a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute.

Adeniran, a 25-year old who has 11 goals in 13 career starts (21 appearances) for St. Louis, capped the scoring with a goal in the 72nd.

NYCFC (0-2-0), which lost 1-0 to Nashville in its opener, is scoreless this season.
