Nashville Soccer Club will host FC Dallas at GEODIS Park on either May 9 or 10 as part of Group Two in the Round of 32 in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.

This draw comes after Nashville defeated USL club San Antonio FC on Wednesday night (April 26)  at GEODIS Park off of an Ethan Zubak goal over San Antonio in the 71st minute to give the Boys In Gold a 1-0 win. Goalkeeper Elliot Panicco also recorded the shutout with some fantastic saves. 

Huntsville City FC midfielder Joey DeZart made his Nashville SC debut as a substitute to secure the shutout. DeZart has appeared in all five matches for Huntsville City FC this season.
