  "textContent": "**NASHVILLE, TN -** Nashville SC have jumped to third place in the latest Concacaf Club Rankings, jumping up five spots after their historic win over Club América in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals.\n\nAll MLS Liga MX\n\nRank▲ | Club⇅ | Nation⇅ | League⇅ | Trend⇅ | Points⇅ | +/-⇅\n---|---|---|---|---|---|---\n\nNashville became the first MLS team to ever win at Mexico City's famed Estadio Azteca, taking down Club América in a historic 1-0 win, courtesy of **Hany Mukhtar** 's match-winning goal.\n\nThey'll take on Tigres in the semifinals, who are currently ranked fourth, tied on points with Nashville at 1,254. Nashville's 25-point increase was the biggest jump in this update.\n\n* * *\n\nThe Concacaf Club Rankings began in 2023. The system uses a mix of international club competitions, domestic league matches, and cup games. From the official explanation:\n\n> These competitions are weighted in terms of the ranking points available per match, with international matches awarding more ranking points than domestic first-division league and cup matches.\n>\n> The calculating formula has been developed in a way that allows clubs to know ahead of each match how many ranking points they can gain or lose depending on the result (win, draw, or loss).\n>\n> Clubs gain more ranking points for defeating a higher-ranked opponent and lose more ranking points should they be defeated by a lower-ranked opponent. Home-field advantage is also a factor.\n\nThe Concacaf Club Rankings impact hosting priority when the bracket is initially drawn, while later hosts are chosen based on their performance in the tournament.\n\nHosting priority is broken down by the following criteria:\n\n  * _Most points awarded (3 points for win, 1 point for draw, 0 points for loss)_\n  * _Best goal difference_\n  *  _Most goals scored_\n  *  _Most away goals scored_\n  *  _Most wins_\n  *  _Most away wins_\n  *  _The lowest number of points accumulated based on the number of yellow and red cards per match_\n  *  _The highest-ranked participating club in Concacaf Club Rankings immediately after the applicable round is completed_\n  *  _Drawing of lots by Concacaf_\n\n\n\nNashville SC are set to take on Tigres in the first leg of the Semifinals at Geodis Park next Tuesday, travelling to Monterrey for the second leg on May 5.\n\n_SixOneFive Soccer_ will have staff on the ground at both legs to provide the high-quality coverage of this team that you expect.
