Brian Schwake - 7.0

The stats line lists two saves for Brian Schwake, but in reality, he didn't have much to do. He was tidy with ball distribution and understood when to go long. This was his 11th clean sheet of the season in just 20 games for Nashville.

Reed Baker-Whiting - 7.5

Reed Baker-Whiting continues to impress in his debut season with Nashville. His versatility allows him to play both full-back positions, which means more minutes for the youngster, sliding over to the right after Andy Nájar's injury. He was secure on the ball and tenacious in defense.

Jeisson Palacios - 8.0

A huge rebound from Jeisson Palacios, who didn't have a great game against DC United. His calm presence at the back allowed Nashville to play their style and build from the back when appropriate. He was also alert off the ball and dealt well with New England's attack.

Sofascore Rating: 7.8

Maxwell Woledzi - 8.0

Another great game from Maxwell Woledzi, who is becoming one of the best defenders in the league in his debut season. His understanding of his defensive teammates, especially Palacios, allowed him to take more risks than most center-backs are allowed to. He had one mistake in the first half that led to a chance, but otherwise read the game well.
