Nashville SC goalkeeper Brian Schwake has been nominated for MLS's Save of the Year award.

The goalkeeper, who tied Tony Meola's league-record 16 clean sheets this season, made one of many highlight-reel saves in a 0-0 draw with the Philadelphia Union on October 28.

Philadelphia played a ball in behind for Quinn Sullivan. His cross picked out Ben Bender at close range, who had the entirety of the goal to shoot at. Somehow, Schwake was able to adjust mid-dive and stick a foot out, preventing an almost certain goal.

Bender's shot had an expected goals value of 0.32, which doesn't even put the shot in the top five xG-defying saves from Schwake this season.

Fans can cast their votes here as many times as they want until voting closes on Monday, November 16.
