On a rainy and humid evening in Fort Lauderdale, Inter Miami narrowly won 1-0 against D.C. United.
The winning goal came in the 94th minute from Leonardo Campana, who scored just seconds after stepping onto the field.
The game started later than planned due to a weather delay caused by lightning. Once the match began, it was not very exciting for Miami’s star player, Lionel Messi, who returned after missing a previous game against Orlando City.
The night belonged to Campana, whose late goal secured three points for Miami. This was his third goal of the season, lifting Miami to the top of the Eastern Conference, one point ahead of FC Cincinnati. Miami is now unbeaten in seven games.
Another key player for Miami was their Spanish defender, who made his first start since April. He played well on the left side and helped keep a clean sheet, showing how much stronger Miami’s defense is with him.
On the other hand, Luis Suarez had a tough game. He did not manage any shots on target and was caught offside twice, showing frustration with the referee rather than focusing on his play. This was his second game in a row without scoring.
Next weekend, Miami will face the Vancouver Whitecaps, hoping to continue their good form.
