Nashville SC came back empty-handed from the Windy City, losing 1-0 to the Chicago Fire. Not much separated the two sides, but Chicago were able to take advantage of an early Nashville mistake.
Let's dig into the player ratings.

• Players begin with a base grade of 6 and can increase or decrease their rating based on performance.

Brian Schwake - 7.5
Brian Schwake was tidy overall and had a big save in the second half to keep the score at 1-0. He shouldn't be blamed for Chicago's goal. While his passing wasn't as accurate as normal, the wind played a huge part in that.
Stock: Unchanged
Sofascore Rating: 6.7
Dan Lovitz - 5.5
Dan Lovitz struggled in the first half and couldn't find the balance between committing forward and leaving space behind. He recovered a bit in the second half, but the game-state had a hand in that as well. He was good defensively when in the right position, but like most of the Nashville squad, he didn't offer much going forward.
Stock: Down
Sofascore Rating: 6.3
