Nashville Equal MLS Points Record After Stunning Comeback Stuns Red Bulls

Nashville SC produced the comeback of the MLS weekend to draw level with the league's single-season points record on Sunday. Trailing 2-0 to the New York Red Bulls in Tennessee, Nashville clawed their way back before Sam Surridge headed home a stoppage-time winner to seal a remarkable 3-2 victory. The result took Nashville to 74 points, equalling the mark set by Inter Miami in 2024. It also ended the Red Bulls' season, with the New York side eliminated from playoff contention by the defeat. Two own goals helped Nashville back into the contest before Surridge's late header completed the turnaround in front of a roaring home crowd. The record is now within Nashville's grasp. A draw against FC Cincinnati on Decision Day, Saturday, November 7, would be enough to set a new MLS single-season points record outright and cap a season that has defied almost every preseason expectation. Nashville's rise has been built on resilience as much as attacking quality, and Sunday's fightback was the perfect illustration: written off at two goals down, they refused to settle and were rewarded in the final moments. Elsewhere on Sunday, Vancouver thrashed Seattle 5-1 to defend their Cascadia Cup crown as the Western Conference's top seed, while Minnesota's 3-1 win at LAFC kept their own playoff hopes alive. But it was Nashville's night. From the brink of defeat, they now stand one result away from history, with the entire league watching what they do next weekend.
