Nashville took the lead in the 27th minute through Hany Mukhtar. Daniel Lovitz supplied the pass, and Mukhtar shielded a defender before striking a rising half-volley inside the near post.

The match changed again late. Reed Baker-Whiting headed in a corner delivered by Mukhtar at the back post in the third minute of stoppage time, making it 2-2 and marking the first career goal for Baker-Whiting. About two minutes later, Andy Nájar’s shot from the right side of the penalty area went inside the back post to complete Nashville’s comeback. TSN
