  "textContent": "Nashville SC take on Tigres UANL in Monterrey tonight in a crucial second leg. After losing the first leg 1-0, the Boys In Gold need a 1-0 win to send the tie to extra time, with any other win putting them through to the final outright.\n\nNo MLS team has ever won outright at Tigres's Estadio Universitario (Columbus Crew won in penalties after a 2-2 draw in 2024). After Nashville became the first MLS club to win at Club América's Estadio Azteca, it will take a similarly monumental effort to book a spot in the final.\n\nNashville SC are managing simultaneous MLS and Concacaf runs on an unprecedented paceWhy deep Concacaf runs don’t actually break good teams, simply expose bad ones, and why the “CCC hangover” might not hit the way you think.SixOneFive SoccerBen Wright\n\n_SixOneFive Soccer_ has a full crew of staff on the ground in Monterrey, with Ben Wright, Johel Maza, and Stephen Robinson on location.

After conceding in the opening 11 minutes, Tigres stormed back to win, scoring three goals between the 45th and 55th minutes to put them at a significant advantage.\n\nHead coach Guido Pizarro played a full-strength squad against Chivas, making just two changes to the side that beat Nashville 1-0 in the first leg. Right back **Jesús Garza** should start tonight, back from suspension and straight back into the backline. On the wings, **Diego Lainez** , **Marcelo Flores** , and **Jonathan Herrera** have all rotated turns starting opposite **Ángel Correa**.\n\nThe first leg clearly demonstrated how dangerous Tigres can be. They move the ball efficiently, and are all on the same page as far as changing the tempo, able to slow it down and reset or push forward rapidly to take advantage of a disorganized defense.\n\nTheir playoff push against Chivas could impact their freshness – Nashville rotated on the weekend, but Tigres didn't. It could result in potential tired legs, but playing both matches at home gives them a significant advantage.\n\n_El Volcán_ is one of the most intimidating atmospheres in MLS, less hyped than the Azteca, but equally formidable. Tigres have been dominant at home against MLS opposition, beating Seattle 2-0 and Cincinnati 5-1 at _El Volcán_ this year in Concacaf. They'll be looking to make Nashville their next victim.\n\n### Predicted XI\n\n## Nashville SC\n\n __Mike Meredith-SixOneFive Soccer__\n\n### The numbers\n\n🐺\n\n\n****Standings:**** 1st (East) | 23 points | 7W-2D-1L | +15 GD\n****Goal leaders:**** Sam Surridge (9), Cristian Espinoza & Hany Mukhtar (3)\n****Assist leaders:**** Cristian Espinoza & Mukhtar (5), Andy Nájar (4)\n****Last match:**** PHI 0-0 NSH (May 2, 2026 | MLS)\n\n### Nashville SC snapshot\n\nPlaying away to Tigres would always be a formidable task for Nashville. Playing away to Tigres without **Sam Surridge** and **Eddi Tagseth** , both injured, is even more daunting.\n\nNashville, though, aren't going to change how they play. Hany Mukhtar said it best in his pre-match press conference.\n\n\"We walked away after the Tigres game thinking that they didn't get our best punch,\" he said. \"You're in a semifinal. That is a bad feeling. We're frustrated. We have to turn that around into energy and bring that tomorrow on the field.\"\n\nHow Nashville SC became an elite MLS club – and one of the best in North AmericaEager to make stars rather than to buy them, Nashville SC’s clear vision has set them apart in MLS and beyond.BackheeledBen Wright\n\n**Matt Corcoran** and **Patrick Yazbek** are the two clear options in midfield, and both can play at a high level. Adding a player like **Alex Muyl** to pinch inside centrally and help make up numbers in midfield will help ease some of the defensive burden, especially on a player like Corcoran.\n\nNashville have allowed eight goals in 17 matches this season. Away from home, they've conceded just three times in nine games. They need to score at least a goal, yes. But they also need to maintain this defensive excellence in one of North America's most daunting environments. Are they up for the test?\n\n### Predicted XI\n\n## Staff predictions\n\n### Ben Wright\n\n**Score:** TIG 2–2 NSH\n**Scorers:** Hany Mukhtar, Ahmed Qasem\n**MOTM:** Hany Mukhtar\n**Bold prediction:** Nashville come painfully close, but can't find a crucial goal to push them through on away goals.\n\n### Jeff Remlinger\n\n**Score:** TIG 2-1 NSH\n**Scorers:** Hany Mukhtar\n**MOTM:** Patrick Yazbek\n**Bold prediction:** Tigres score in the opening five minutes.\n\n### Ronan Briscoe\n\n**Score:** TIG 1–2 NSH\n**Scorers:** Hany Mukhtar (x2)\n**MOTM:** Hany Mukhtar\n**Bold prediction:** Well, I, for one, believe.\n\n### Valair Shabilla\n\n**Score:** NSH 1–1 TIG\n**Scorers:** Cristian Espinoza\n**MOTM:** Cristian Espinoza\n**Bold prediction:** Nashville score early-ish, but Tigres take charge after.\n\n## Pre-match media",
