Jhonder Cadiz scored his first goal for Nashville in their comprehensive 3-0 MLS win over Dallas.
Cadiz – making his second appearance after arriving on loan from Portuguese giants Benfica – doubled the lead with 17 minutes remaining on Tuesday.
Coming off the bench just past the hour-mark after Randall Leal opened the scoring in the 19th minute, Cadiz’s long-range shot took a deflection and left Dallas goalkeeper Jimmy Maurer helpless.
Fellow substitute Daniel Rios completed the scoring in the 88th minute when weaved his way past two defenders, sending a scrambling Reto Ziegler to the ground, before firing low beyond Maurer.
The first of many.

The result ensured expansion franchise Nashville earned back-to-back MLS wins for the first time, per Opta.
Of Nashville’s 24 points so far, 11 have been won against teams from Texas – seven versus Dallas and four against Houston Dynamo.
Nashville are eighth in the Eastern Conference, while Dallas are sixth in the west following just one win in six games.
Daniel Ríos is SNATCHING SOULS.
