Nashville SCBags brace in big win
Mukhtar took seven shots (three on goal), created two chances, and scored twice in Saturday's 4-1 win over Inter Miami.
Analysis: After failing to score or assist in each of his last five appearances, Mukhtar exploded for a brace to lead Nashville to a big win in the Supporters Shield race. He's up to eight goals and five assists on the season, and those totals should continue to rise as Nashville turn up the heat down the stretch. Up next is an Eastern Conference road clash with the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday.
Plays part in both goals in draw
Mukhtar took one shot (off target), sent in three crosses (two accurate), created one chance, and took one corner in Saturday's 2-2 draw at D.C. United.
Analysis: Mukhtar did not officially get his name on the score sheet, but he played a part on both goals. It was his ball that caused the penalty, and his creative play that set up Mohammed's goal. Mukhtar has now gone five consecutive matches without a goal or an assist. Leagues Cup is on the horizon for Nashville before they return to league play on Saturday, August 15, in a top-of-the-table bout at home with Inter Miami.
Kept in check by Orlando City
Mukhtar registered one shot (off target), five crosses (one accurate), and took two corners in Saturday's 1-0 loss at Orlando City.
Analysis: Mukhtar was kept in check by Orlando City, unable to muster much going forward. He has six goals and five assists through the first 17 games of the season and will look to pad those numbers on the road against a vulnerable D.C. United defense on Saturday.
Four shots in win
Mukhtar took four shots (three on target), sent in two crosses, and created one chance in Saturday's 2-1 win over New York City FC. He also committed one foul and suffered three fouls.
Analysis: Mukhtar led Nashville in shots for the second consecutive game, although he was unable to break through after bagging a hat trick in his prior outing. He's been a constant threat in a Nashville side that sits atop the Supporters Shield standings entering the World Cup break, with six goals and five assists in 14 appearances. Nashville is back in action at home against Atlanta United on Friday, July 17.
Hat trick hero in win
Mukhtar took four shots and scored three goals in Sunday's 3-2 win over LAFC.
Analysis: Mukhtar delivered one of his best performances of the 2026 MLS season, powering Nashville to the top of the Supporters' Shield standings. It was his fifth career hat trick for Nashville and pushed him past 100 goals for the club across all competitions. Look for him to continue to drive the attack in Sunday's home clash with New York City FC.
Six crosses in win
Mukhtar took two shots (off target), sent in six crosses, and took four corners in Wednesday's 3-0 win over New England.
Analysis: While Mukhtar didn't make his mark on the scoresheet, he was a constant threat going forward, fueling Nashville to a big road win in a battle of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. Up next is a home bout with LAFC on Saturday.
Sees yellow in draw
Mukhtar took four shots (zero on goal), sent in five crosses, created one chance, and picked up a yellow card in Saturday's 2-2 draw with D.C. United.
Analysis: Mukhtar was a nuisance in the attack despite not making a mark on the scoresheet. The attacker has three goals and five assists on the campaign, and up next, he faces a New England Revolution side that he scored against in the season opener. Nashville travels to face the Revs on Wednesday, who are 6-0-0 at home to start 2026.
Limited in role off bench
Mukhtar took one shot (off target), sent in two crosses, took one corner, and drew one foul over 28 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Philadelphia.
Analysis: Nashville opted to use Mukhtar off the bench in this one ahead of Tuesday's Concacaf Champions Cup return leg at Tigres. He was unable to make much of an impact in limited minutes and will look to get back on the scoresheet in Saturday's favorable home clash with D.C. United.
Two assists in win
Mukhtar took five shots (two on goal), created three chances, and assisted twice in Saturday's 2-0 win over Atlanta United.
Analysis: Mukhtar assumed a more attacking role with Sam Surridge sidelined, matching his season high with five shots and registering multiple assists for the first time this season. Look for Mukhtar to continue to pull the strings in a strong matchup at home against Charlotte FC on Saturday.
