c/o Toronto FC II

Win is first for Toronto FC II this season

NASHVILLE –. A multitude of travel difficulties and a third game in eight days made for tied legs for 
Nashville SC as it fell to previously winless Toronto FC II, 2-0.  

90 in a Nutshell 

Nashville appeared to have an early lead when Brandon Allen put one into the back of the net off 
a corner kick. Allen ended up being called offside and the goal was wiped off the board.

In the 34’ minute, Nashville keeper CJ Cochran came off his line to cut down the angle from 
a Toronto attack. When attempting to play the ball, Cochran committed a foul and Toronto was given 
a penalty. Luca Uccello converted and gave Toronto a 1-0 lead heading into the break.

Minutes into the second half, Toronto doubled its lead. A long throw in led to Matthew Srbely 
working his way across the top of the 18-yard box, around the Nashville defense. Srbely placed 
his shot perfectly into the side netting to add an insurance tally.

Nashville used its subs to bring more offensive players into the game, but the scoring woes continued 
as it was shutout for the fourth time in five July games.  

Goals
34’ - Luca Uccello (Penalty)
48’ – Matthew Srbely (assisted by Shaan Hundal)
