But Nashville went into another gear in the second-half, taking the lead on the hour mark thanks to a Sam Surridge spot-kick. The Englishman has been prolific all season for Nashville and was sure to make his mark in the final.
A late push nearly saw Austin scrap their way to a dramatic equalizer but Nashville held strong in the face of the pressure to pull off a famous victory in their short club history.
