Nashville SC dominate Inter Miami with four-goal salvo

A. Najar and H. Mukhtar lead the charge in a commanding home victory

Nashville SC put on a clinical display to secure a 4-1 win over Inter Miami in Major League Soccer. A. Najar opened the scoring early, and H. Mukhtar's brace after the break sealed the deal, with S. Surridge adding another to extend the lead. Despite L. Messi's missed penalty, Inter Miami managed a consolation goal from T. Segovia in stoppage time, but it was too little too late. Fipster's high-confidence prediction for a Nashville win landed, though the margin was more emphatic than expected.
