Nashville completely dismantled New England at Geodis Park, racing into a commanding 3-0 halftime lead before eventually running out 4-1 winners. The Revolution offered almost nothing in resistance, mustering just one shot on target across the entire match while Nashville peppered their goal with eight efforts on target from fourteen total attempts. Sam Surridge was the standout performer for the hosts, terrorizing the New England defence throughout and earning the official nod as man of the match. The scoreline was flattering to the visitors, who never looked like mounting a serious comeback once Nashville had established such complete control. Three corners and 55% possession proved more than enough for the hosts to dominate proceedings, and while the Revolution did grab a consolation goal in the second half, it merely papered over the cracks of a performance that fell well short. For Nashville, it was a statement win that sends them into the break in fine spirits.
