Nashville SC midfielder Hany Mukhtar was named to the MLS Team of the Week bench for his performance in a 1-1 draw with Orlando City on Sunday.
Mukhtar scored Nashville’s only goal of the match, receiving a pass from Randall Leal just inside the box before turning and finishing past Orlando’s Pedro Gallese. It was Mukhtar’s 15th goal of the year, and with one match left in the regular season, he leads MLS in combined goals and assists with 27.
This is Mukhtar’s seventh selection of the 2021 season.
