Inter Miami vs DC United goal

Inter Miami: Campana (90’+4)

The match between Inter Miami and DC United had to be postponed more than 30 minutes because of bad weather. After the match started, the home team quickly took control of the ball thanks to the return of superstar Lionel Messi after recovering from injury.

As usual, the duo Messi – Suarez played energetically and became the focus of every attack on Inter Miami’s side. The Argentine superstar also personally tried twice on the free kick but was unsuccessful.

At the end of the first half, Cremaschi also missed the opportunity to help Inter Miami open the score after facing the DC United goalkeeper. The first half of the match ended without any goals scored.

Entering the second half, DC United was the team that proactively attacked and created many dangerous situations towards Inter Miami’s goal.

It was not until after the 70th minute that Inter Miami gradually began to regain control of the ball. Messi is still the focus of attacks from long shots, free kicks to breakthroughs. However, he was unlucky in this match.

It seemed like the match would end without any goals being scored, but the unexpected happened in the 7th minute of injury time of the second half. Busquets made an accurate long pass for Campana to run down to receive the ball before kicking the ball. Classy finish, opening the score for Inter Miami.

This is also the only goal of this match. Inter Miami retains the top spot in the Eastern rankings in MLS 2024 with 31 points after 15 matches. They are 1 point ahead of second-placed team Cincinnati but have played 1 more match.
