"Nashville went down to Lionel Messi's team in the first round of last season's MLS playoffs. Next up is a last-16 tie with reigning MLS Cup champions Miami. Nashville SC will take on MLS rivals Inter Miami in the next round of the Champions Cup after sealing a thumping 7-0 aggregate win over Atletico Ottawa."
"It really was a team effort from Nashville, who had only 11 shots, but were extremely clinical. Their 3.2 expected goals (xG) also shows the quality of the opportunities they created. Five Nashville players had two attempts each, while Matthew Corcoran and Bryan Acosta split the creative burden, crafting three chances apiece."
"Star striker Sam Surridge, who scored twice as Nashville kick-started their MLS campaign by thrashing the New England Revolution last weekend, was left on the bench on Tuesday, but his team still surged to a 5-0 win. Alex Muyl and Jordan Knight had Nashville 2-0 up by half-time at GEODIS Park."
Nashville SC secured a commanding 7-0 aggregate victory over Atletico Ottawa to advance in the Champions Cup, winning 5-0 in the second leg at GEODIS Park.
