Ghanaian defender Maxwell Woledzi delivered a commanding performance as Nashville SC secured a historic 1–0 victory over Club América in the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals, becoming the first Major League Soccer side to win at the iconic Estadio Azteca.
The 24-year-old center-back was a defensive pillar throughout the contest, producing a standout display across the full 90 minutes. Woledzi registered 10 defensive contributions, alongside six crucial recoveries and seven clearances, helping his side withstand sustained pressure in one of football’s most intimidating venues.
Since arriving at Nashville earlier this year, Woledzi has grown into a key figure at the heart of the defense, with his consistency and composure drawing widespread praise. His latest performance on such a grand stage has only intensified calls for his inclusion in the Ghana national football team setup.
With Ghana continuing to seek stability at the back, many observers believe Woledzi’s current form and reliability could make him a valuable asset for the Black Stars.
