Joe Willis - 5.0
Joe Willis had a good save in the first half against Tadeo Allende. Other than the save, he was kept busy by Miami throughout the match and was mostly fine. His defenders let him down in the first two goals, but he needed to be stronger on the third.
Stock: Unchanged
Andy Nájar - 6.5
For long stretches, Andy Nájar was the only one taking risks and creating with the ball. He was often Nashville's only outlet in build-up play, which skewed his passing numbers simply because of the volume. Defensively he didn't have to do much, but he took care of business when needed.
