Atlanta United FCvsNashville SC
ATL 0/NSH 1
Things to say
Nashville SC beat Atlanta United 1-0 at GEODIS Park to move to 10-3-1.
01
opener
Nashville grinded out a 1-0 win over Atlanta. Not pretty, but they got the clean sheet and the three points. Home form's been rock solid all year.
02
key player
Schwake was the story in goal for Nashville, five saves and a clean sheet. Keeper wins you games like that.
03
hot take
Atlanta at 3-2-9 is just a shambolic season. They're not a bad squad on paper, but that's a bottom-of-the-table record and somebody's job should be on the line.
04
deep cut
Wild part is Nashville only had a couple shots from Mukhtar all night. They didn't need to overload the attack, just soaked up pressure and Woledzi was everywhere in the back with double-digit interventions.
05
exit
Anyway, Nashville's rolling. Curious to see if they can keep the run going on the road next week.
The recap
Nashville got the job done at home, grinding out a 1-0 win over Atlanta to keep their season humming along at 10-3-1. Brian Schwake was the difference-maker, turning away five shots to lock down the clean sheet, while Atlanta huffed and puffed but couldn't find the net.
Honestly, this was Nashville doing Nashville things: dig in, defend, take your one chance. Atlanta stay stuck in the mud at 3-2-9, and this one won't do much to lift the mood.
