Tuesday night, Nashville SC headed south of the border for a second time in 2026, requiring another historic victory to keep their Concacaf Champions Cup dreams alive against a Tigres side that had taken a 1-0 advantage from the first leg.
Despite a more than commendable effort, one moment ended the Coyotes' deepest run in the region's premier club competition to date as Tigres grabbed a 1-0 lead that they would not surrender.
Let's take a look at the performances.

Brian Schwake - 6.0
Brian Schwake faced just two shots on target in this one, and one of them found the back of the net. There were a couple of moments of indecisiveness that could've panned out worse, and it was Schwake's sliced clearance (off a bad pass but nonetheless) that conceded the throw-in that eventually led to the lone Tigres goal. Overall, hard to complain.

Reed Baker-Whiting - 6.5
Reed Baker-Whiting regained his spot in the starting lineup and made some critical plays in defense that kept the Coyotes in the game. His lack of involvement in attack was more a symptom of a wider issue for Nashville on the night than a knock against the young left back.

Maxwell Woledzi - 6.5
Maxwell Woledzi was overall good in defense, but did have three inaccurate backwards passes in the Tigres half that on another day could've made things much worse.
