Surridge scores 2 goals, Nashville beats Revolution 4-1 in season opener for
both teams
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) --- Sam Surridge scored two goals Saturday night, Warren
Madrigal added a goal and two assists, and Nashville SC beat the New England
Revolution 4-1 in the season opener for both teams.
Surridge opened the scoring in the sixth minute and scored on the
counter-attack in the 16th to make it 2-0.
Brian Schwake made his MLS debut. The 24-year-old goalkeeper did not record a
save.
Hany Mukhtar blasted a rising first-touch shot from point-blank range to give
Nashville a 3-0 lead in the 39th minute and Madrigal capped the scoring in the
49th.
Leo Campana scored in the 47th minute for New England. Campana, who scored
seven goals last year in an injury-plagued season, had five goals in five
preseason matches.
Matt Turner had four saves for the Revolution.
Surridge, who led Nashville with 24 goals last season (tied with Los Angeles
FC's Denis Bouanga for second in MLS), signed a contract extension through the
2027-28 season with an option for the 2028-29 season, the club announced
earlier Saturday.
Coach B.J. Callaghan signed an contract extension Monday with Nashville. In
2025, his first full season with the club, Callaghan led Nashville to franchise
records for single-season wins (22), longest unbeaten streak (15 games) and
most goals scored (75). Nashville tied the club's single-season points record
with 54 but lost in the first round of the playoffs to eventual MLS Cup
champions Inter Miami.
