FC Dallas vs Nashville SC

Nashville came to Toyota Stadium looking to disrupt Dallas's flow, and they nearly succeeded. FC Dallas had more of the ball and created the better chances, but couldn't find the breakthrough despite eight attempts overall. Nashville sat deeper, compact and organized, forcing Dallas to be patient. Osaze Urhoghide was the standout performer for the hosts, putting in a commanding display at the back that kept things tight when it mattered. The visitors had their moments too, though they managed just one shot on target across the 90 minutes.

Neither side wanted to lose it, which meant neither side took the risks needed to win it.
