D.C. United Pull Off Impressive Win Against Rotated Miami
In a match that saw several changes and the absence of key players, D.C. United managed to secure an impressive victory against Inter Miami on August 24, 2025.
The game, which took place at a stadium where the majority of the shirts were attached to the opposing team, saw D.C. United start strong. In the 15th minute, Jackson Hopkins, who was moved to center forward in the absence of Christian Benteke, scored the first goal for D.C. United. Hopkins has been in fine form recently, scoring a goal in each of his last two MLS matches.
D.C. United, who have been eliminated from postseason contention for the sixth straight season, were without the reigning MLS Golden Boot winner Christian Benteke due to suspension. Another notable absentee for D.C. was Caden Clark, who joined the club from Montreal on Thursday but suffered a concussion in training with his new club.
Miami, who sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, one point behind Orlando City, made changes at halftime, bringing on De Paul, Busquets, and Suárez. Despite these additions, D.C. United managed to hold on to their lead.
In the second half, Miami did manage to equalize. Baltasar Rodríguez scored the equalizer for Miami with a shot into the top-right corner. However, D.C. United showed resilience and managed to hold on for the win.
Javier Mascherano led Inter Miami in the match, but the absence of key players such as Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba was evident. Miami had won two games in a row before the match, but D.C. United's impressive performance saw them come away with a well-deserved victory.
Ryan Sailor, a defender for Miami, spoke to our website about the game, expressing his disappointment at the result but acknowledging D.C. United's strong performance.
Despite the win, D.C. United still have the worst attack and second-worst defense in MLS. René Weiler, the coach of D.C. United, has overseen two 1-1 draws in his first two matches. However, the victory against Miami will give the team a much-needed boost as they look to improve their form for the remainder of the season.
Jacob Murrell had a goal ruled out for offside during the match, but overall, D.C. United's performance was impressive, especially considering the rotated Miami team they faced. Hosei Kijima was an unmarked winger for D.C. United on the edge of the box, creating several chances for the team.
As for Miami, they will look to bounce back from this defeat as they prepare for their upcoming Leagues Cup semifinal vs. Orlando. Javier Mascherano, the Miami manager, prepared for the match by rotating the team and keeping veteran leaders on the bench.
In the end, D.C. United's determination and resilience paid off, as they secured a much-needed victory against a rotated Miami team. The win will give the team a boost as they look to improve their form for the remainder of the season.
