Nashville SC and DC United played out a 2–2 draw in an MLS encounter on 10 May, with the hosts dominating proceedings through superior shot volume and expected goals. Nashville's 4–3–3 setup generated 16 shots, seven on target, and 2.02 xG, with Warren Madrigal netting both goals for the home side. Despite this territorial advantage, Nashville's goalkeeper conceded 3.38 xG while posting a 71.43% save percentage, suggesting profligacy from DC United's 4–4–2 formation despite their xG of just 1.38. The visitors managed 12 shots with six on target, with Louis Munteanu and Lucas Bartlett each scoring to secure the draw. Nashville created significantly more chances and should have won, but DC United's clinical finishing and goalkeeper performance prevented defeat. The result leaves both sides with a point apiece in what proved a competitive mid-season fixture. Nashville's wastefulness could prove costly in the title race.
