Nashville’s attack was far more incisive , over half of their 17 shots came inside the box, generating 7 big chances and 5 goals. Orlando, by contrast, settled for distance efforts with 7 of their 12 shots coming from outside the area.

Bauer, Surridge & Mukhtar were at the heart of Nashville’s attack; the most involved in shot sequences & progression. Data also backs Mukhtar’s influence as both creator & finisher. For Orlando, new signing Spicer was a bright spot, 2nd most threatening player in the match.

Mukhtar dropped into the 10, linking play with Surridge & Shaff ahead. Brugman acted as the connector, receiving from the defense and drifting left to progress play. For Orlando, LB Adrian Marín led the game in progressive passes, receiving all across the field.

Nashville SC🟡 5 - 1 Orlando City🟣. Scoreline flatters Nashville, stats show it was fairly even. Orlando tilted the field through their right flank, while Nashville were clinical in the final third, dominating their right side. Ruthless finishing made the difference. Thread 🧵

Juan Torres next.
🇸🇳 Sources: Minnesota United finalizing deal to sign forward Mamadou Dieng from Hartford. Dieng, 21, has excelled in USL Championship. He has 9g/2a in 1,600 mins this season, had 11g/1a in 1,800 mins last year.

🛡️ Defensive Shape. Out of possession, LAFC set up in a 4-5-1. Son pressed the CBs to force play wide. The midfield five stayed compact and narrow, mixing man-marking with lane-blocking to shut down central progression.

🔥 Press. LAFC pressed aggressively with Son & Bouanga leading. Midfielders stepped up to man-mark New England’s midfield, while special focus was on pressing the keeper to force errors.

⚡️ Transition. On the counter, Martínez makes diagonal runs from the right, attacking the space in behind and looking to get his shot off quickly.

The wingers also tuck into the half-space, pulling defenders inside and leaving fullbacks free to progress. Both are comfortable receiving on the half-turn when central.

⚽️ Build-Up. On the right, Delgado drifts wide in possession. Hollingshead can find either Bouangaor Delgado, and from there they combine with quick one-twos before one of them bursts in behind.

Semenyo had two open players to his left and took the shot. Confidence.

Called it, Iloski and Baribo’s first game together and they combine for the equalizer.
Final Verdict. Philly has four good strikers. Iloski & Baribo stand out; Iloski brings elite goal threat and link-up, Baribo is efficient and direct. Damiani’s shown flashes and should get chances. Uhre helps in buildup and pressing but may be the odd one out due to age and cost.

Conclusion. Goodwin is a natural poacher; smart positioning, clinical in the box, always finding space. Adding more self-creation and link-up could take him up a level. At 20, there’s time to grow, making this a high-risk, high-reward move for Charlotte.

Most of his goals come from tap-ins and one-touch finishes close to goal, a product of his sharp positioning and movement in the box, as seen below.

His shot map shows most efforts coming within 10 yards of goal, and he’s a versatile scorer, able to finish with his right, left, and head.
