NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Surridge scored two goals — his second multi-goal game this season — and Cristian Espinoza added a goal and an assist to help Nashville SC beat Minnesota United 3-1 on Saturday night.
Surridge has scored 17 home goals — the most in MLS — since the start of last season.
Surridge re-directed a shot by Patrick Yazbek into the net to open the scoring in the 26th minute and his rising shot from the right corner of the 6-yard box in the 47th made it 3-1.
Hany Mukhtar’s shot from just outside the penalty area was parried by diving goalkeeper Drake Callender, but Espinoza was there for the tap-in putback to give Nashville (2-0-1) a 2-0 lead in the 33rd.
Nectarios Triantis scored for Minnesota (1-1-1) in the 35th minute.
Callender finished with three saves.
Nashville's Brian Schwake stopped two shots.
