Jacob Shaffelburg then secured the win for Nashville SC in the 54th minute.

The AI-powered pre-game prediction correctly foresaw a Nashville SC victory, aligning with their home advantage and the historical data. The AI correctly expected that it will be a balanced game. Nashville SC’s recent form has been strong at home, punctuated by a high-scoring win against Chicago Fire FC, and they carried that momentum into this match. They seem confident at home, since they won 4 of the last 5 home matches, but they should be aware, that their next rival, New York Red Bulls, won in the U.S. Open Cup clash against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. Charlotte FC, on the other hand, have been inconsistent, struggling to convert possession into goals, as seen in their recent loss to Columbus Crew.
Compared to their previous encounters, where many games were low-scoring affairs, this match was more open and attacking. Nashville's ability to capitalize on their home ground and convert chances proved to be the difference. Nashville SC faces New York Red Bulls next, where they'll look to continue their home dominance. Charlotte FC will travel to face Orlando City SC, aiming to improve their away form and translate possession into goals, because in the last match, Charlotte FC dominated in possession (54.9%), but still lost 1-2. Nashville SC's recent results show that they are able to score goals, since they scored 7 goals against Chicago Fire FC, and one goal in the last U.S. Open Cup match.
