Nashville SC cruised to a 2-0 win as New York City FC’s group of promising young attackers failed to make an impact: Here are your Nashville vs NYCFC video highlights.
It was a dreary start to NYCFC’s 2023 MLS regular season. Nashville scored goals in each half, from Walker Zimmerman and Jacob Shaffelburg respectively, and that was enough to sink NYCFC.
Nick Cushing’s side looked disjointed and unfinished despite enjoying 62% of the possession on the day, with NYCFC’s forwards attackers —Talles Magno, Gabriel Pereira, and Thiago — producing just two shots on target. Luis Barraza made a few key saves to deny Nashville in the early stages of the match, but Zimmerman opened the scoring via set piece in the 34th minute and the home side never looked back from there.
