Inter Miami make history in Montréal
A night to remember
On a rain-soaked evening in Montreal, Inter Miami CF made history by defeating CF Montreal in their first-ever visit to the Stade Saputo. The 2-1 win was a testament to the team's resilience and determination, and it marked a significant milestone in the club's young existence.
A hard-fought battle
The match was a close and tightly contested affair, with both teams having chances to take the lead. In the first half, Miami's Leandro Gonzalez Pirez came close to scoring, but his header went just wide of the post. Montreal had their own chances, but they were unable to find the back of the net.
In the second half, Miami took the lead through Gonzalo Higuaín. The Argentine striker latched onto a pass from Rodolfo Pizarro and fired a low shot into the bottom corner. Montreal equalized soon after, thanks to a goal from Joaquín Torres.
However, Miami refused to be denied, and they regained the lead in the 75th minute. Gregore made a run into the Montreal penalty area and was fouled by Kamal Miller. Higuaín stepped up to take the penalty and calmly converted it, giving Miami a 2-1 lead.
Montreal fought hard to get back into the game, but Miami held on for the win. The victory was a huge boost for Miami, who are now unbeaten in their last five matches. It also marked the first time that Montreal had lost at home this season.
A special night
The win was a special moment for Miami, who are still in their third season in MLS. It was also a significant victory for manager Phil Neville, who has overseen a remarkable turnaround in the team's fortunes.
After the match, Neville praised his players for their performance. "I'm so proud of the boys," he said. "They showed great character and determination to win the game. This is a big moment for the club, and I'm delighted to be a part of it."
