Unfortunately, Nashville came up short in the affair by way of a 2-1 defeat to conclude its stint in the Sunshine State with a trip back to Geodis Park awaiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The match was a 120-minute affair split into four quarters rather than halves, and Gary Smith&#8217;s Starting XI featured only one change from Nashville&#8217;s previous outing &#8211; Sean Davis back in for Brian Anunga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surridge<br>Shaffelburg | Boyd | Gaines<br>Davis | Yearwood<br>Washington | MacNaughton | Maher | Moore<br>Willis<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toronto&#8217;s Italian duo of Lorenzo Insigne and Bernardeschi opened the scoring, each accounting for a goal apiece, before the 2022 Landon Donovan MLS Most Valuable Player entered the match for his first preseason appearance of the new campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mukhtar subbed on at halftime and the playmaker instantly altered the trajectory of the match, supplying the assist to incoming rookie Forster Ajago before the end of the third quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the defeat, Nashville SC returns home to Geodis Park for its penultimate preseason match where the club will host USL Championship-side Birmingham Legion FC. Nashville enters the match with a picket-fence record through three Spring matches, 1W-1L-1D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Player<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Goals<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Assists<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Jacob Shaffelburg<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#8211;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tyler Boyd<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">McKenzie Gaines<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Forster Ajago<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#8211;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Hany Mukhtar<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">&#8211;<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo: Courtesy of Nashville SC<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hany Mukhtar made his 2024 preseason debut in Nashville SC&#8217;s 2-1 loss to Toronto FC.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2822,"featured_media":35114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Hany Mukhtar Makes Preseason Debut for Nashville SC","_seopress_titles_desc":"Nashville SC dropped its third preseason match of 2024, despite the former MVP appearing as a halftime substitution.","_seopress_robots_index":"","_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1534],"tags":[1547],"class_list":["post-35109","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer","tag-nashville-sc"],"blocksy_meta":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/hany-mukhtar-kicks-ball-in-nashville-scs-third-preseason-match.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Nolan Galbreath","author_link":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/author\/nolan\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2822"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35109"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35109\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35296,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35109\/revisions\/35296"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35109"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35109"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pressbox615.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
