Eighteen fans who attended the Leagues Cup matchup between Nashville SC and Mexico’s Club America on Tuesday were cited for trespassing after rushing the field in celebration that was later overturned due to an infraction.
Of the 18, Metro Nashville Police said Wednesday in a statement that 11 were adults and seven were children who were “mostly, if not all, fans of visiting Club America,” per The Tennessean.
Nashville SC and Club America ended regulation deadlocked 2-2, forcing penalty kicks. After three penalty shootouts to make the score 4-4, it appeared that Club America had secured the victory when Nashville SC’s Jack Maher’s shot was blocked, prompting some fans of the visiting club to storm the field at Geodis Park.
