D.C. United endures an exhilarating match against Inter Miami
D.C. United faced off against Inter Miami on Saturday night, with the match being held in a stadium where the majority of the shirts were attached to the opposing team. Miami, who had won two games in a row before the match, started many young players due to a need for rest before their upcoming semifinal.
In the first half, D.C. United's summer signing, Caden Clark, was absent due to a concussion, and there was a lack of passion from the supporters' groups during the match. Miami sat fifth in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Orlando City, and needed a response after the interval. They poured on the pressure on D.C. United in the second half, but it was Inter Miami who scored the opening goal.
Baltasar Rodríguez, a striker for Inter Miami, scored the equalizer with a shot into the top-right corner. D.C. United, who have the worst attack and second-worst defense in MLS, fought back valiantly but were unable to find a winner.
René Weiler, the coach of D.C. United, has overseen two 1-1 stalemates in his two matches at the helm. One of the standout players for D.C. United was Jackson Hopkins, who scored a goal in each of his last two matches. Hopkins wore the captain's armband for D.C. United across his 74 minutes on the pitch.
Jacob Murrell nearly scored a goal for D.C. United, but his effort was ruled out due to offside. D.C. United's MLS Golden Boot winner, Christian Benteke, was missing due to suspension, and Hosei Kijima was an unmarked winger for D.C. United on the edge of the box during the match.
Inter Miami's coach, Javier Mascherano, was not present for the match as he was preparing his team for the Leagues Cup semifinal against Orlando City. Ryan Sailor, a defender for Inter Miami, stated that every team in the league is capable of putting together a performance to get wins.
Despite the draw, D.C. United pulled off an impressive win in a dreary campaign, as they moved within one point of Orlando City in the Eastern Conference standings. Miami, on the other hand, will be looking to regroup and focus on their upcoming semifinal, as they look to secure their place in the MLS playoffs.
