Overview
- Sam Surridge scored twice in a 2-0 road win at FC Cincinnati on Saturday that lifted Nashville to 77 points and broke the MLS single-season points mark.
- The victory completed a 23-3-8 regular season that already had Nashville clinch the 2026 Supporters’ Shield.
- Nashville’s defense allowed a league-low 25 goals, matched the MLS record with 17 clean sheets, and goalkeeper Brian Schwake tied Tony Meola’s single-season clean-sheet total.
- The club went undefeated at home, posting a GEODIS Park record of 15 wins, zero losses and two draws, which helped secure the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.
- FC Cincinnati’s loss dropped them into a wild-card road match at Orlando, and Nashville’s record season — built under coach B.J. Callaghan and led by captain Hany Mukhtar’s 25 goal contributions — now gives them a clear competitive edge entering the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs.
