NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Surridge scored on a penalty kick Wednesday and Nashville SC beat CF Montreal 1-0 to extend its win streak to five games.

Nashville (12-1-3), which beat Atlanta 1-0 on Friday night, is unbeaten in 10 straight and leads MLS with 39 points.

Surridge converted from the spot to open the scoring in the 68th minute. The 27-year-old forward has 10 goals in 10 appearances (six starts) this season.

Brian Schwake had two saves for Nashville.

Montreal (4-9-3) played to a 0-0 tie with Toronto on Thursday in its first game back from the World Cup break and is winless in five straight.

“They make some very defensive subs and then they played five in the back for the last minutes,” said Montreal coach Philippe Eullaffroy.

“We showed some quality offensively the last 15, 20 minutes and against this type of team, I think it’s a compliment to see the way they try to adjust themselves against us.”

Nashville is 8-0-1 at home this season. Montreal is 1-7-1 on the road.
