Nashville SC midfielder Hany Mukhtar has been nominated for MLS's Goal of the Year award.

Nashville's captain, who logged 17 goals and eight assists for the 'Yotes in league play this season, scored a spectacular overhead kick in a 4-0 win over Sporting Kansas City at Geodis Park, turning acrobatically to hit a cross from Andy Nájar into the side netting.
