Inter Miami's struggles at their new Nu Stadium continued with a 1-1 draw against the New England Revolution. Lionel Messi failed to score or assist for the second straight game, as the team fell three points behind Eastern Conference leaders Nashville. German Berterame equalized late to earn a point.
Inter Miami were held to a 1-1 draw by the New England Revolution at Nu Stadium, extending their winless run in three home games despite remaining unbeaten in nine overall. Carles Gill gave the visitors the lead in the 56th minute, but with 14 minutes remaining, Matt Turner could only parry Luis Suárez's shot into the path of German Berterame, who fired home the equalizer. This marks Berterame's third goal in four games, boosting his case for Mexico's World Cup squad. Messi had chances but was denied twice by Turner from distance and poked wide before halftime. The result came after Miami's back-to-back away wins over Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids. Interim coach Guillermo Hoyos praised his players' efforts over a demanding week. “I want to once again highlight the group’s efforts this week, what they’ve given and how they’ve performed against two intense teams, including one at high altitude,” Hoyos said. He added of Berterame: “How could Berterame not get called up to the national team? He absolutely has to go. ... He’s a player who has scored goals everywhere he’s gone. He is a natural goalscorer.” Meanwhile, Nashville's 4-2 win over Charlotte solidified their lead in the Eastern Conference.
