Well, the predictions were proven wrong! Nashville SC will see another day as they play their next game in Leagues Cup Play 2023. The game was filled with drama, especially when it’s all about the underdogs!
Club America was leading 2-1; however, it was the designation of the player Sam Surridge by the Nashville SC in the late hours of the game that changed the game. As a debutante substitute, he scored the second goal, tying the game 2-2!
The knockout round was integrated to break the tie between Club America and Nashville SC, where the penalty kick by Jack Maher was stopped by the goalkeeper combining craziness on the field.
The knockout round was the turning point of the game! After the fans of Club America rushed on the field to celebrate, Honduran referee Selvin Brown announced that the Club America goalkeeper, Luis Malagon, came early off his line, thus giving Jack Maher, Nashville defender, another kick.
With the second try by Maher, Nashville SC got another point which the Club Americans could not match up as they missed their attempt. Dan Lovitz scored the goal that made the Nashville SC preside over the game!
It led to frustrating fans of the Club Americans to strew debris and cups across the field! It was quite dramatic, especially when they thought they had it in the bag! The Nashville Sc coach, Gary Smith, was triumphant at the end of the match, especially after the team won.
It was Sam Surridge that first took the wheel to make a difference! His contribution to the insane win of the NSC was surreal because, for a long period, they were losing! The VAR evaluation led by referee Brown helped the NSC to turn the game.
From despair to hope, Maher saw his chance and took it, not wasting his opportunity, while on the other hand, Club America missed their chance leading to a loss they will probably remember for a long time.
