COMMERCE CITY, Colo. (AP) — Nashville ended the Colorado Rapids’ team record 23-game home unbeaten streak, winning 3-1 Saturday night behind two goals from Hany Mukhtar.

Nashville also got one goal from C.J. Sapong.
Diego Rubio scored for the Rapids (5-6-3).
The Rapids outshot Nashville 15-7, with four shots on goal to five for Nashville.
Elliot Panicco saved three of the four shots he faced for Nashville. William Yarbrough saved two of the five shots he faced for the Rapids.
