Brian Schwake - 9.0
Brian Schwake was called upon multiple times, and he stepped up for each one. He was a bit unfortunate with the penalty after it looked like he touched the ball before clattering into Myrto Uzuni. He made up for it in a major way, though, saving the penalty and saving six other shots to keep Nashville ahead. A man of the match performance from the young 'keeper.
Stock: Up
Schwake has been immense so far for Nashville. I wasn't sure about the choice to stick with him, but he's fully earned it so far.

Andy Nájar - 6.5
It was yet another good performance from the Honduran fullback. He remains Nashville's third best attacker, despite his position. Defensively he was a bit switched off for Austin's goal; ideally he would've read that situation faster and better.
Stock: Unchanged
