Goalkeeper's Nightmare: Own Goal Stuns Inter Miami
23 Jul
Summary
- Goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo scored an unfortunate own goal.
- Inter Miami rallied to win 3-2 without Messi and De Paul.
- Casemiro recently signed with the team before the match.
Inter Miami overcame an early own goal blunder to secure a 3-2 victory against the Chicago Fire. Goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo scored one of the game's ugliest goals when he mistimed a routine back-pass, resulting in the ball finding its own net. This unfortunate event occurred before the team's successful comeback.
Despite the absence of stars Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul, who are resting after the World Cup final, Inter Miami managed to rally for the win. Both players are expected to miss upcoming matches, including the game against CF Montréal and the MLS All-Star Game. The victory was significant for Inter Miami's standing in the Eastern Conference, as Chicago is currently positioned just behind them in the league table.
