Scores game winner in stoppage time
Woledzi scored on his only shot in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls. He also made nine clearances and drew one foul en route to a clean sheet.
Analysis: Woledzi rose to the occasion, heading home from close range in stoppage time to help Nashville leave New York with all three points. It was his second game winning goal of the season, and the standout centerback should continue to see attacking opportunities on set pieces down the stretch. Next up is a home matchup with the Columbus Crew on Saturday.
First career goal is game winner
Woledzi scored the game winning goal on his only shot in Saturday's 2-1 win over New York City FC.
Analysis: The goal was the first of Woledzi's young MLS career, heading home from close range to help Nashville come away with the full three points. He's been a mainstay at center back this season, and he's been a big reason why Nashville boasts one of the best defenses in Major League Soccer. After the World Cup break, Nashville hosts Atlanta United on Friday, July 17.
