Nashville really had to grind against Toronto FC this past Saturday, pulling out a 1-0 win at home. The team from the Music City has won six of its last seven league matches, picking up points in 14 of its last 15. Their last defeat in MLS play came all the way back in April.

Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping its All-Star Game, the league announced Friday.

The MLS All-Stars nearly broke the scoreless deadlock in the 13th minute following a corner kick.
