Overview
- Nashville beat FC Cincinnati 4-0 on Saturday night, completing a fourth straight win that continued a stretch of one loss in the last 16 matches.
- The club moved to 52 points through 22 games, the most points any MLS team has had at that stage of a season.
- Sam Surridge and Hany Mukhtar each had a goal and an assist, substitutes Bryan Acosta and Ahmed Qasem added late goals, and goalkeeper Brian Schwake made six saves to record his 10th shutout of the season.
- Cincinnati, which had rested defender Matt Miazga and briefly managed Obinna Nwobodo, is now winless in four straight and conceded four or more goals for the fifth time this year.
- With Nashville freed from Leagues Cup play and riding this pace, analysts project the team could surpass Inter Miami’s 74-point single-season record which would reshape the Supporters' Shield race and force rivals to adjust player management and tactics.
