Sam Surridge<\/a> scored a hat trick as Nashville SC<\/a> topped the Philadelphia Union<\/a>, 3-1<\/a>, Tuesday night at GEODIS Park to advance to the 2025 US Open Cup<\/a> final.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n In the Oct. 1 title match, Nashville will visit the winner of Wednesday’s semifinal between Minnesota United FC<\/a> and Austin FC<\/a> (8:30 pm ET | Paramount+, CBS Sports Network). The winner will claim a 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup<\/a> spot, prize money and silverware.<\/p>\n Surridge carried his hot MLS scoring form into one of the biggest games in club history, breaking the ice in the 36th minute with a wide-open header following a throw-in, before doubling their lead early in the second half after another set-piece.<\/p>\n Quinn Sullivan<\/a> pulled one back for the Union midway through the second half with a fantastic right-footed shot from outside the box.<\/p>\n However, Surridge would have the final say with an equally stunning finish, first-timing Daniel Lovitz<\/a>‘s service past goalkeeper Andrew Rick<\/a> in the 85th minute to cap a memorable night for Nashville.<\/p>\n \u2014 U.S. Open Cup (@opencup) September 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n Sam Surridge hatty ????pic.twitter.com\/AZu60W8yDr<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Major League Soccer (@MLS) September 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\nGoals<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
