Hani Mukhtar’s 63rd-minute strike Nashville SC had a decisive target in a 2–1 victory when he went to New York Red Bulls on Wednesday.
Seven minutes after Eric Maxim Choopo-Motoring was equalized for New York (5-5-3, 18 points), Mukhtar launched the Nashville SC (7-4-2, 23 points) for good. More than half of the Nashville’s lineup, a magnificent crafted passing play established Mukhtar for the conversion of a large right leg into the box.
Patrick Yazbek scored the second goal of Nashville and Sam Sarij had two assistance.
Nashville SC won all-time matches against Red Bulls in eight (1-3-4) for the first time. That previous Winless record included a 2–0 road loss in New York on 1 March.
Mukhtar (six goals, four aids) lead all the Nashville players in the target contribution in this season.
Nashville has a 6-1-1 domestic record, while Red Bulls are Winless (0-4-2) in six road matches.
Four days after Los Angeles Galaxy’s 7–0 thrashing, New York was limited to a goal on seven shots (two on target) by solid Nashville Raksha. Near the end of the second half, Cameron Harper and Victor Bogack had wide equal marks for each Nashville’s net.
A cool first half was opened by Yazbek in the 34th minute. Sarij and Daniel Lovitz helped Yazbek receive the ball in the middle of the ground, and the midfielder did the rest of the race in racing in downfield and fired from the edge of the box.
This was Yazbek’s first goal in 18 MLS matches in parts of two sessions with Nashville.
Choupo-Moting responded to Yazbek’s success target with New York Forward Team-Agni seventh goal. In the 56th minute, the Harper came into the box and sent an ideal cross to the Chupo-Motor, which buried a well-kept header.
New York defender Omar Valencia picked up a yellow card in his 45 -minute game. Valensia recalled the next match of Red Bulls (against New York City FC on Saturday) on a suspension for caution accumulation.
