Nashville SC squandered their chance of topping the MLS table on Friday night, losing 1-0 to San Diego FC. It wasn't the best showing for the Boys in Gold, but there were a few bright spots.

• 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.
Joe Willis - 8.5
After a quiet half, Joe Willis was called into action a few times in the second. The goal he conceded had more to do with the finish than his reaction. Saving the penalty was huge and gave Nashville a much needed life in the last phase of the game.

Dan Lovitz - 6.0
The left back was more involved in the attack than the past few games, especially in the first half. Just like the rest of the squad, he wasn't able to find the final touch with the ball.
