Joe Willis made four saves for his league-leading seventh shutout of the season and Nashville played Minnesota United to a scoreless draw on Tuesday night in the first meeting between the clubs.
Nashville is unbeaten in its last four matches, with three straight draws.
Minnesota played to a scoreless draw for the second time in three games. Willis came out of his area in the 65th minute to deny Ethan Finley’s lofted attempt on a one-on-one breakaway.
Willis is tied with Columbus’ Eloy Room with seven shutouts. Minnesota goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair made three saves for his fourth clean sheet.
