Nashville SC News Release
NASHVILLE - Nashville SC survived and advanced on Wednesday night in its U.S. Open Cup debut with a 2-0 win over NPSL side Inter Nashville FC as Tucker Hume netted a brace for the winners.
90 in a Nutshell
Nashville SC was on the front foot most of the night and it paid off early. A pass from forward Robin Shroot played Hume in alone and the 6'5" striker rounded the keeper for the easy finish in the 19' minute.
The teams went into the locker room at 1-0 despite Nashville SC dominating play in the first half. Mother Nature intervened early in the second half, forcing a lightning delay in the 55' minute. Play resumed following a 41-minute delay and Nashville continued to attack. The dam finally broke in the 89' minute as again it was Shroot who found Hume. This time it was bar-down for the Tar Heel to seal the win and the 3rd round appearance.
