Overview
- Sam Surridge converted a penalty to break a scoreless game and lift Nashville to a 1-0 win over CF Montreal.
- The result moved Nashville to 12-1-3 (39 points) and stretched its unbeaten streak to 10 matches, keeping the club top of the league.
- CF Montreal fell to 4-9-3 (15 points) and is now winless in five regular-season matches, leaving the team three points outside the Eastern Conference playoff places.
- Prince Owusu returned from a yellow-card suspension for Montreal after missing the previous match, but his presence did not prevent Montreal’s continued struggles on the road.
- Nashville’s defense has been a key factor this season, allowing the fewest goals in MLS and remaining unbeaten at home, a pattern that deepens Montreal’s uphill climb in the standings.
