Coming off the bench to start the second half, Skahan instantly made an impact, constantly creating danger in the attacking third of the pitch. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, the midfielder made the most of his return to his home state in the 63rd minute when he hauled in a pass from Rodrigues and got behind the Nashville SC back line to slot home his first goal of the season in an eventual 1-1 draw.

The MLS Team of the Matchday selection is Skahan's first in his MLS career since joining the club in February 2020 as a second-round selection in the MLS SuperDraft.
