Just four days after playing one of the worst defensive games in franchise history, Nashville SC responded with a milestone effort against Inter Miami FC and Lionel Messi on Wednesday.

In producing a 0-0 draw on the road, Nashville (11-9-6) became the first team to hold Miami scoreless since Messi, one of the greatest players in soccer history, started playing 10 games ago. Messi had totaled 11 goals and six assists in his first nine appearances.
