Hannes Wolf’s Late Heroics Rescue 2-2 Draw for NYCFC in Thrilling Comeback Against Nashville SC

New York City FC showed heart, grit, and determination in a pulsating 2-2 draw with Nashville SC, battling back from a daunting two-goal deficit. The Eastern Conference clash saw momentum shift dramatically, leaving fans breathless until the final whistle.

The match started brightly for the hosts, with Sam Surridge finding the back of the net twice in the first half. His clinical finishes in the 19th and 33rd minutes gave Nashville what looked to be a commanding lead heading into the break.

But NYCFC came out with renewed purpose after halftime.

Midfielder Keaton Parks was instrumental in shifting the tempo, dictating play and breaking through Nashville’s lines. His energy helped ignite a fightback that would define the second half.

Hannes Wolf stepped up in spectacular fashion. The Austrian forward halved the deficit with a composed strike in the 63rd minute, injecting belief back into the visitors. As the pressure mounted and time ticked down, it was Wolf again who delivered — slotting home the dramatic 87th-minute equalizer that silenced the home crowd and secured a hard-earned point for New York City.

The draw keeps NYCFC within striking distance in the playoff race and showcased their depth, spirit, and never-say-die mentality.
