Inter Miami CF are no strangers to attracting record crowds on the road, and they did so again in Cleveland on Saturday when 60,614 fans packed into Huntington Bank Field for the Heron’s 1–0 win over Columbus Crew SC.
Despite the high attendance, Miami’s superstars were unable to deliver a memorable match as Columbus shut down Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba. Instead, it was a cross from Marcelo Weigandt and a finish from Benjamin Cremaschi that secured all three points for the Herons.
The win brings Miami to 18 points in eight games and keeps them tied with Columbus for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The victory also gives the Herons a slight confidence boost after two straight draws.
While the win is good news for Miami, Saturday was yet another match under head coach Javier Mascherano that left fans with a lot of questions heading into Matchday 10 against FC Dallas and more importantly, the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal against Vancouver Whitecaps FC on Thursday.
Check out three takeaways from Inter Miami's victory below.
