Here are Player Ratings from Miami’s match vs. Nashville.

---

Goalkeeping, Defense:

• 🧤 Drake Callender - 8.5: Came up with a big save at the end that helped Miami keep all three points.

• 💨 Jordi Alba - 8.7: Scored a Goal of The Week candidate all while pulling the strings from left-back.

• 🏋️ Serhiy Kryvtsov - 7.8: Had a solid outing at center back. No glaring issues from the Ukrainian.

• 🧮 Sergio Busquets - 7.9: Looked quite slow out there, but his positioning was excellent.

• 🍳 Ian Fray - 9: Glad that he’s back from injury. Just the type of defender Miami needs on its roster. Pleased to see him score again as well.

Midfield:

• 💪 Benjamin Cremaschi - 7.7: Ran his legs off and covered the ground well. Unfortunately, had one too many wonky first touches throughout the match. Did well besides that!

• ☀️ Yannick Bright - 7.6: The penalty giveaway spoiled an otherwise flawless night from Bright. Was strong in his tackles and plugged holes through the middle that Nashville could’ve exploited.

• 🐞 Federico Redondo - 7.9: Looked better than he did when he initially came back from injury. Was strong, dictated tempo, and pushed the team ahead. Looking forward to seeing him develop consistency.

Attack:

• 🥨 Julian Gressel - 8.4: This is why Inter Miami acquired Julian Gressel.

• 🛎️ Leonardo Campana - 7.8: Led the line well for the Herons, but there were a couple of moments where he probably should’ve scored.

• ✌️ Diego Gómez - 7.5: Welcome back from injury! His time in an Inter Miami shirt may be coming to an end, however.

Substitutes:

• ⛵ Ryan Sailor - 7: Did well to hinder Nashville as they pushed for a late equalizer.

• 🪽 Robert Taylor - 6.7: Had a couple of good runs, but didn’t impact the game too much.

• 🦒 Shanyder Borgelin - N/A: Didn’t play long enough to warrant a rating.

• 💈 David Ruiz -N/A: Didn’t play long enough to warrant a rating.

Coaching:

• 🔢 Tata Martino - 8: Got the starting eleven spot on. Tactically, Miami did well to absorb pressure and then hit when Nashville was vulnerable.
