Brian Schwake - 8.5

Another impressive performance fromBrian Schwake. He had five total saves, the most important coming on a Tadeo Allende attempt that prevented Inter Miami from doubling their lead. He was excellent on the ball, hitting 100% of his short passes and only missing the target on three out of his ten attempted long balls.

We knew he was good with his feet, but seeing him make big saves in key moments is confirming that he's the right option for Nashville.

Dan Lovitz - 5.5

Dan Lovitz struggled to adapt to the game and, overall, just didn't seem to be at his best. He was still solid defensively, but wasn't able to offer much on the ball.
