Surridge’s Late Header Salvages 1-1 Draw for Nashville in Montreal

The draw keeps Nashville above the play-in bracket, leaving Montreal stuck on 28 points with one game left.

Overview

  • Sam Surridge headed in the equalizer in the 80th minute from a Gaston Brugman cross to cancel out Dante Sealy’s early free-kick goal.
  • Sealy’s strike continued his surge to seven goals in his last nine MLS matches.
  • Montreal had a second goal waved off after VAR ruled Prince Owusu offside in the 33rd minute.
  • The result helps Nashville avoid slipping into the play-in zone, while Montreal remains 6-17-10 and must take at least a point in the finale to avoid equalling its worst season.
  • Deadspin reported the equalizer also set a Nashville single-season goals record, a note not corroborated across other outlets.
