Sam Surridge rescued Nashville SC with a first‑minute stoppage‑time equaliser, sealing a 2‑2 draw against Inter Miami on Saturday night.
His second strike of the night — the 15th of his campaign — arrived after Shak Mohammed’s attempt was parried by Dayne St Clair, letting Surridge tap in the rebound and give conference‑leading Nashville a vital away point. For my money, Surridge’s composure under pressure makes him Nashville’s clutch player.
Lionel Messi had put Miami ahead in the 62nd minute, netting his league‑leading 19th and 99th overall for the club with a soaring left‑footed finish after a Rodrigo De Paul pass.
Miami pressed for a winner minutes later, but De Paul’s effort clanged off the left post in the final kick of extra time.
That late leveler forced Miami into a third consecutive draw, extending their winless run to eight league games.
Nashville meanwhile pushed its unbeaten run against Miami to four meetings in all competitions.

Antoine Griezmann fuels Orlando City’s third consecutive win.
Antoine Griezmann struck for the fifth straight game, helping Orlando City stretch its winning run to three with a 3‑0 triumph over Toronto FC.
Orlando remain unbeaten in five outings, while Toronto suffered its first defeat since July 25, halting a seven‑game run.
The first half saw momentum swing back and forth, each side crafting chances.
Griezmann’s quick feet opened the scoring in first‑minute stoppage time of the opening half, as Zakaria Taifi delivered a right‑side pass that the French striker tucked under the bar with his left.
Rookie Harvey Sarajian netted his inaugural MLS goal in the 82nd minute, capping a short feed from Daryl Dike and finishing at the far post to make it 2‑0.
