The summary of the contest was defined by patience. After a goalless first half, Inter Miami waited until the 80th minute to land the decisive blow, with Suarez converting the only score of the night. Miami had already reshaped after the break, while Montreal answered with changes of their own as Daniel Pereira, Noah Streit, Fabian Herbers, Olger Escobar and Brandan Craig were introduced.
That lone goal settled the result at Saputo Stadium. Inter Miami now sit second in the standings on 37 points from 17 matches, while CF Montreal remain on 15 points. The score and stats underline how tight it was, but the highlights were clear enough: a late penalty, two away bookings and no way back for the home side.
Afterward, the update said interim coach Guillermo Hoyos also offered a cautious note on German Berterame, saying, "The blow was very strong but he is recovering." For Miami, though, the final summary was simpler - one decisive moment and another away win in MLS.
