Hany Mukhtar and Sam Surridge scored second-half goals and Joe Willis posted his fifth clean sheet of the season as Nashville SC blanked the Chicago Fire 2-0 on Saturday night. Neither team scored until Mukhtar took a pass from substitute defender Andy Najor and found the net in the 56th minute. Surridge trails the Philadelphia Union's Tai Baribo by a goal in the race for the Golden Boot Award. Nashville improves to 3-3-2 on the road this season in climbing to third place in the Eastern Conference. Chicago is 6-4-0 on the road this season and 1-2-4 at home.
