Never easy, but Nashville SC handles Birmingham Legion in crucial win

Lackluster offense leaves the door open, and Saint Louis FC struts through to beat Nashville SC

Russell Cicerone found a 77th-minute winner for the hosts. Nashville SC has had one of the best offenses and one of the best defenses in the USL’s Eastern Conference over the course of the season.
