How they played: Nashville SC on international duty

Four Nashville SC players - as well as one from Huntsville City - played on international duty this past week. Crucially, all players five appeared to get through the international window without injury. Here's a recap of how things went.

Matthew Corcoran

Matt Corcoran started the United States U20 3-0 win over Mexico in Spain. He was involved in the initial buildup to their first goal before being substituted off late in the second half. He didn't play in their 1-1 draw with Japan two days later, with head coach Marko Mitrović making wholesale changes to his squad.

Real Gill

Huntsville City forward Real Gill was an unused substitute for Trinidad & Tobago's 2-1 win over Cuba. He came off the bench at halftime during their 4-0 second-leg win, taking two shots (one on target) and completing 79% of his passes. Trinidad qualified for the 2025 Gold Cup.

Andy Najar

Defender Andy Najar played in both Honduras's Gold Cup qualifiers against Bermuda. Honduras went down 2-0 in the first leg, with Najar culpable for one of Bermuda's goals. They stormed back to win 5-3. Najar played the full 90 minutes, playing three key passes.

Najar played 84 minutes in a 2-0 win during the second leg, providing the assist for the winner. Honduras have qualified for the Gold Cup.

Jacob Shaffelburg

Shaffelburg was a substitute in both of Canada's Concacaf Nations League finals. He came off the bench for the final 30 minutes of their 2-0 semi final loss to Mexico, and played 24 minutes in a 2-1 win over the United States in the third-place match. He didn't take a shot or create a chance in either match.

Xavier Valdez

Xavier Valdez started both of the Domincan Republic's friendly matches against Puerto Rico. They drew the first match 2-2, conceding the equalizer in second-half stoppage time, before winning the second leg 2-0.
