The report says Hany Mukhtar gave Nashville the lead before Judd levelled with a second-half header from Eduard Löwen’s free-kick. It was a composed response from San Jose against a Nashville side that arrived after a strong winning run.
The point also reportedly extended the Earthquakes’ unbeaten league sequence to nine matches, an important foundation for a team seeking more than merely a postseason berth. Judd’s goal carried additional weight, with the forward said to have joined Chris Wondolowski and Jeremy Ebobisse among the few San Jose players to reach 16 goals in a season.
San Jose reportedly sits fourth in the Western Conference with four regular-season matches remaining. That position gives the club a realistic opportunity to secure home-field advantage in the opening playoff round, precisely the objective Judd identified.
Bruce Arena also praised the performance, saying: “Foi um jogo muito disputado contra, possivelmente, o melhor time da competição neste momento. Sair com um ponto e garantir a vaga, que era um objetivo no início do ano, é importante”.
The next reported fixture is an away meeting with FC Dallas. It will offer San Jose a chance to strengthen its playoff position and prove that this unbeaten run can carry momentum into the postseason.
