NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Anibal Godoy scored his first goal in three years, Joe Willis had five saves and Nashville SC beat Inter Miami 1-0 on Sunday night in a matchup of expansion teams.
Godoy, whose last goal came March 11, 2017, as a member of the San Jose Earthquakes, first-timed a clearance into the net from the top of the area in 53rd minute.
Willis had his second shutout of the season to help Nashville (2-4-1) snap a three-game winless streak, including back-to-back shutout losses.
Inter Miami (1-6-0) was coming off its only win of the season, a 3-2 over Orlando City - Miami's only multi-goal regular-season game.
