Inter Miami clinched its sixth consecutive victory on Saturday night, defeating CF Montreal 1-0 thanks to a late penalty from Luis Suárez. The pivotal moment arrived in the 81st minute after an unfortunate collision between Montreal defender Efraín Morales and Inter Miami forward Germán Berterame.

Suárez calmly converted the penalty, marking his ninth goal of the season and extending his impressive scoring run to six goals in his last three matches.
Goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo earned his second clean sheet of the season for Inter Miami (11-2-4), which has now won three straight against Montreal. The home team, Montreal (4-10-3), struggled offensively, scoring only one goal in their last three games since the World Cup break.
