"Sam Surridge's winning goal in US Open Cup final earlier this month was just one of 29 he has scored in all competitions this season. On Sunday, the 27-year-old will continue his quest to deliver further success in a city more renowned for its country music than sporting prowess. Surridge is currently third in Major League Soccer's (MLS) top scorer race with 23 goals, battling it out for the Golden Boot with Inter Miami's Lionel Messi (26) and LAFC's Denis Bouanga (24)."
"He had a good spell where he scored five doubles in five games. It is great because he has an unbelievable goalscoring record. It has been nice to go toe-to-toe with him, and you have Denis Bouanga as well. It's nice to have that three-horse race now. We are all putting in really good seasons. It might come down to the final game, which will be interesting for everyone."
Sam Surridge scored the winning goal in the US Open Cup final and has 29 goals across all competitions this season. He has 23 Major League Soccer goals and sits third in the league scoring chart behind Lionel Messi (26) and Denis Bouanga (24). Inter Miami, featuring Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Rodrigo de Paul, visit Nashville in the final regular-season game as teams jostle for MLS Cup play-off seeding. Surridge led the scoring race midseason before Messi produced five doubles in five games. Surridge describes the three-way contest as positive and says he remains focused on performing rather than awards. Nashville's sporting culture centers on American football and ice hockey.
