Nashville SC supporters have happily adopted the “It’s All Your Fault” chant made popular (at least around these parts) by Predators fans. But on July 15, even the faithful couldn’t find room to squeeze in the taunt after Hany Mukhtar had scored twice in three minutes against the Chicago Fire. Almost immediately from the ensuing kickoff, a Fire player was sent off for fouling C.J. Sapong as he was through on goal. Cue more raucous cheering — and no “It’s All Your Fault” — followed by a gem of a free kick from Mukhtar to complete the fastest-ever MLS hat trick from the start of a match. Real time elapsed between the first and third goals: All of five minutes and 31 seconds.
