Story summary

On November 1, Nashville SC ended New York Red Bulls' playoff hopes with a 3-2 victory in a rainy match, clinching Nashville's ninth straight unbeaten game. The Red Bulls took an early two-goal lead, but Nashville used two own goals and Sam Surridge’s stoppage-time goal to win. This loss, along with Toronto FC’s defeat by Atlanta United, secured a postseason spot for the Columbus Crew in the Eastern Conference. The Red Bulls' failure to reach the playoffs consecutively for the first time in club history marks a disappointing season despite significant changes made last year, including new leadership roles and coaching hires.
