CF Montreal 0-1 Inter Miami: Result and Key Stats

⭐ Key Players

• Luis Suárez scored one goal from a penalty in the 81st minute, sealing CF Montreal 0-1 Inter Miami CF.
• Rocco Ríos Novo made two saves and recorded a clean sheet.
• Sébastian Breza made one save for CF Montreal.
• Germán Berterame won the penalty before leaving after a head collision.

The decisive sequence came after half-time. Berterame suffered a foul inside the area, then hit his head against Montreal defender Efraín Morales. He was taken away by ambulance after being knocked unconscious, and concern around the incident eclipsed the football for a spell. Hoyos later said, “A pancada foi muito forte, mas ele está se recuperando.”

Once play resumed, Suárez used a delicate penalty to beat Breza. It was his ninth goal of the season and sixth in his last three matches, a sharp return that carried Miami through a tense finish. Ríos Novo, making his third start, made two saves and secured his second clean sheet of the season.

The match highlights centred on the narrow margins. Breza’s one save was not enough to prevent Montreal from falling to 4-10-3, while Miami improved to 11-2-4. The wider summary is a sixth straight Inter Miami win, achieved without Lionel Messi in the club’s first two matches after the World Cup. Carlos Casemiro also made his MLS debut for Miami.
