Columbus Crew vs Nashville FC
Match Report
Nashville SC snatched all three points in dramatic fashion as Hany Mukhtar struck deep into stoppage time to seal a 1-0 victory at Columbus Crew on Friday night. The German playmaker's 94th-minute finish etched his name into the record books as the scorer of the 25,000th regular-season goal in MLS history.
Columbus dominated possession with nearly 58% of the ball but struggled to create clear-cut chances, managing just two shots on target all evening. Mukhtar punished them with virtually the last kick of the game, finishing clinically to leave Lower.com Field stunned into silence.
The result extends Columbus's winless start under new head coach Henrik Rydstrom to three matches, leaving the Crew stuck on just two points. Nashville, meanwhile, climb to seven points from three games and are shaping up as early contenders in the Eastern Conference.
