Nashville Soccer Club advanced to the Quarterfinals in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup with a 2-1 victory at Louisville City FC on Wednesday night. Aké Loba scored the opening goal for Nashville with Hany Mukhtar securing the game-winner in the 89th minute.

Nashville SC forward Aké Loba scored his first goal of the season tonight for the Boys in Gold immediately following Louisville opening the match with a goal. The two goals were two minutes apart, with Loba scoring in the 39th minute to give Nashville back the momentum.

Midfielder Hany Mukhtar scored the game-winner in the 89th minute for Nashville SC, marking back-to-back goals for Mukhtar in Open Cup matches. The midfielder opened the scoring in the win over Atlanta United FC on May 11. Overall, Mukhtar has scored four goals and two assists in his last four matches across all competitions.
