Nashville rookie Brian Schwake duels NYCFC's Matt Freese to scoreless draw for
11th clean sheet
NEW YORK (AP) --- Nashville SC goalkeeper Brian Schwake dueled New York City
FC's Matt Freese to a scoreless draw at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.
Schwake needed to make just one save to notch his 11th clean sheet in his first
23 starts for Nashville (16-2-5), which saw a four-match win streak end but its
unbeaten run extended to six in a row. The 25-year-old rookie has surrendered
only 17 goals this season, fewest in the league.
Freese finished with two saves to pick up his fourth shutout in 23 starts for
NYCFC (7-8-8) --- now winless in its last six matches after a third straight
draw.
Hany Mukhtar missed a chance to give Nashville the lead in the 43rd minute
following an NYCFC turnover, but he hit the cross bar on an empty net. Mukhtar
had four goals and two assists in his previous four matches.
The first half ended without any stoppage time and the two clubs played only
two minutes at the end of the second half.
Nashville beat NYCFC 2-1 at home in May but is 0-3-2 all time on the road in
the series.
NYCFC is 4-4-4 at home on the season, while Nashville improves to 5-2-4 on the
road.
Nashville has 53 points --- 11 more than second-place Inter Miami in the
Eastern Conference and 10 points ahead of the Western Conference-leading
Vancouver Whitecaps in the Supporters' Shield race.
