Nashville SC was on the verge of a disappointing loss, but Warren Madrigal's two late goals helped the team battle back to tie DC United 2-2 at Geodis Park on May 9. For 75 minutes, Nashville SC looked like a team still reeling from their painful CONCACAF Champions Cup exit. But a fortuitous red card allowed Nashville to catch a break, and Madrigal took advantage. The Costa Rican forward scored twice in the final 15 minutes to salvage a point for Nashville, which was playing without forward Sam Surridge and midfielders Eddi Tagseth and Patrick Yazbek due to injuries. Nashville was struggling to find their rhythm, having gone 286 minutes of game time without a goal, which extended to 350 before Madrigal scored his third and fourth of the season. Louis Munteanu and Lucas Bartlett both scored on headers in the first half, as NSC went to the locker room trailing by multiple goals for the first time all season. But when D.C. right back Silvan Hefti picked up his second yellow card, it left the door open for a comeback. Madrigal tapped in the rebound off a Matthew Corcoran shot for his first goal and scored on a volley in front of goal in the 89th minute to tie the game. Nashville travels to face the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium on May 13. The team will look to build on their momentum from the tie and get back to their winning ways. Warren Madrigal's performance was a bright spot for Nashville, and they will need more of the same from him if they want to succeed. The tie was a much-needed result for Nashville, and they will look to use it as a springboard to get back into the win column. Nashville's next match will be a tough test, but they are confident in their abilities and are ready for the challenge.
