Nashville beats Montreal to clinch Supporters' Shield title
MONTREAL -- Sam Surridge and Hany Mukhtar each scored a goal, Brian Schwake had five saves, and Nashville SC beat CF Montreal 2-0 on Saturday to clinch the 2026 MLS Supporters' Shield title. Nashville (21-3-7), which is unbeaten in seven straight, leads MLS with 70 points this season, four shy of the league record set by Miami in 2025. Schwake leads the league with 14 shutouts this season. Reed Baker-Whiting played a cross from the left side to Surridge, whose header was parried by goalkeeper Samsy Keita before Surridge put away his own rebound to make it 1-0 in the 52nd minute. The 17-year-old Keita made his MLS debut, became the youngest player to start a game in franchise history and finished with three saves for Montreal (6-18-7). Mukhtar intercepted a misplayed pass in Montreal's defensive third and beat Keita one on one with a low shot from point-blank range to make it 2-0 in the 76th minute.
