Nashville SCTwo assists in win
Espinoza took zero shots, sent in six crosses, took three corners, created four chances, and assisted twice in Wednesday's 3-0 win over New England.
Analysis: Espinoza is now tied for second in MLS with seven assists on the season, sitting just one back of Saturday's opposition Son Heung-Min. He's been a key offseason addition, and he'll look to keep it rolling at home against LAFC on Saturday.
Whips in 11 crosses in draw
Espinoza took three shots (two on goal), sent in 11 crosses, took five crosses, and created three chances in Saturday's 2-2 draw with D.C. United.
Analysis: Espinoza was active in the attack but was unable to make an impact on the scoresheet. With Sam Surridge continuing to miss time, Nashville will need Espinoza to shoulder more of the attacking load in the upcoming matches. Up next is a clash between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference when Nashville visits the New England Revolution on Wednesday.
Lively off bench in draw
Espinoza took one shot (off target), sent in four crosses, and created three chances in 28 minutes in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Philadelphia.
Analysis: Espinoza featured off the bench ahead of Tuesday's second leg Concacaf Champions Cup clash at Tigres. Despite the limited minutes, he was lively in the attack and created multiple scoring opporunities. Nashville returns to league play in a favorable home matchup with D.C. United on Saturday.
Scores, assists in win
Espinoza sent in seven crosses, created four chances, took five corners, scored a goal, and assisted in Saturday's 2-0 win over Atlanta United.
Analysis: Espinoza is up to three goals and four assists through the first eight games of the season, highlighting his attacking impact since joining Nashville in the offseason. Expect the Argentine to continue to be a force on the right wing against Charlotte FC on Saturday.
