Boys in Gold back on the right track with win over Memphis

Don’t forget to vote in the community player ratings! Entering Wednesday’s game against in-state rival Memphis 901 FC, it was fair to question Nashville SC’s form: the Boys in Gold were on two straight one-goal losses, their previous game had been abandoned at halftime due to inclement weather, and before that, they gave up three goals in a home draw against Ottawa Fury.

Nashville continues scoring form, but needs to clean up at the back in draw against Ottawa Fury

Ryan Lassan Photography/For Club and Country NASHVILLE – It’s easy to forget – in the wake of a somewhat disappointing draw against Ottawa Fury Saturday evening – that a performance with serious drawbacks can be considered an impressive one nonetheless. The Fury have given up three goals just two times, including Saturday’s 3-3 result in First Tennessee Park. The other?
