Inter Miami beat CF Montréal 1-0 behind a late penalty by Luis Suárez, but the match was overshadowed by a serious head injury to Germán Berterame that required an ambulance and caused a lengthy stoppage. Berterame was later reported conscious and recovering, with the club updating his family. Casemiro made his MLS debut for Miami in the win, a signing amid MLS scrutiny over tampering and discovery-rights with LA Galaxy. The victory keeps Miami near the top of the Eastern Conference as Messi remains unavailable for All-Star duties this season. Teammates and officials expressed concern for Berterame, and Suárez paid tribute to him after scoring.
