Nashville SC set the single-season points record after their two-nil win over FC Cincinnati away from home. After solidifying themselves as the best team in the regular season, the Boys in Gold will now start looking to the 2026 playoffs.

Let's look at how each player performed.
• Players begin with a base grade of 6 and can increase or decrease their rating based on performance.
• Players must play a minimum of 15 minutes to earn a rating.
Brian Schwake - 9.5
Brian Schwake had a huge first half, coming up with a couple of crucial saves. He wasn't tested much in the second half and didn't even make a save. His shot-stopping and on-the-ball ability gave Nashville a huge boost in important moments.
Fully deserved his second call-up to the USMNT.

Andy Nájar - 8.0
A great shift from Andy Nájar, which is now just the norm. He provided the assist on the game's first goal with an inch-perfect pass and was a driving force for Nashville from the back.

Sam Surridge opens the scoring for @NashvilleSC and they're now on track to reach 77 points – which would be the single-season league record! 👀

Jack Maher - 7.5
Jack Maher was a sufficient replacement for the injured Jeisson Palacios. He allowed the game to play in front of him and swept up most balls that came his way. He came awfully close to getting on the scoresheet himself, but his header was blocked.
For someone who hasn't seen the pitch in nine matches, this was a nice comeback.

Maxwell Woledzi - 8.0
Another big match from Maxwell Woledzi, and he's well on his way to becoming Defender of the Year. The Ghanaian was superb on the ball and distributed it well. He picked up an unnecessary yellow at the end of the match, but it's good he got it off his chest before the playoffs.
