Nashville SC delivered a commanding 3-0 victory over Columbus Crew at GEODIS Park on July 16, 2025, marking their 10th consecutive home unbeaten match and showcasing their strength at the venue.

The win was highlighted by an own-goal from Columbus's Zawadzki, a goal from Hany Mukhtar, and contributions from Andy Najar and Sam Surridge, who played pivotal roles in the team's success.

Najar recorded two assists in the match, becoming only the second Nashville player in history to reach at least 10 assists in a single season, joining Mukhtar in this milestone.

Surridge scored a goal and provided an assist, helping him lead the Golden Boot race with a season total of 28 goals, while Mukhtar added another goal.

Joe Willis achieved a significant milestone with his 100th career regular-season win and 75th clean sheet, demonstrating his vital role in the team's defensive strength.

Head coach BJ Callaghan praised the team's mentality and commitment, emphasizing their determination to improve and perform well against Columbus after a previous loss to Inter Miami CF.

The victory reinforces Nashville's status as a serious contender for trophies, despite being early in their rebuilding process, with the team currently third in the Supporters' Shield standings with 44 points.

Midfielder Eddi Tagseth highlighted the team's disappointment after their loss to Miami and stressed the importance of their bounce-back performance against Columbus.

Nashville's three All-Stars—Najar, Surridge, and Mukhtar—each played crucial roles, contributing to the second goal through a well-executed counter-attack.

Looking ahead, Nashville will host Toronto FC at GEODIS Park on July 19, 2025, with special Star Wars-themed events planned for the match.
