Injury Scare Casts Shadow Over Victory
Inter Miami secured a 1‑0 win over CF Montréal on a cool evening in Miami, with Luis Suárez converting a penalty that proved enough to edge the visitors.
The triumph was overshadowed by a frightening collision involving Germán Berterame and Efraín Morales, which left the Uruguayan forward with a serious head injury and required immediate hospitalization. Manager Guillermo Hoyos later confirmed that Berterame remained conscious and was on the path to recovery.
Casemiro, the Brazilian midfielder, made his MLS debut but could only complete 57 of 64 passes, failing to exert the expected influence on the game despite the team’s overall dominance.
Goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo kept a clean sheet with two crucial saves, preserving the narrow lead and highlighting the defensive resilience that has become a hallmark of the side.
The result lifts Miami to second place in the Eastern Conference, a position they hold despite the absence of star forwards Lionel Messi and midfield anchor Rodrigo De Paul, marking their sixth consecutive victory.
Looking ahead, the club aims to extend the streak when they travel to face Columbus Crew, hoping to build momentum as the season progresses.
