With three games left to play in the league season in MLS, Inter Miami tops the Eastern Conference.
The playoff spot is already secured, but the Miami team is in the hunt for first place in the series, as it means home field advantage in the playoffs.
The night’s meeting at home with seventh in the table Charlotte was something of a miscalculation. Inter Miami had to settle for a point after Lionel Messi equalized with a 67th minute strike.
– Who else would do it?, exclaimed the commentator in Apple TV’s broadcast.
Suarez got super mode
Late in stoppage time, former Barcelona colleague Luis Suarez had an excellent chance to decide the match, but the shot went high.
During the final stages of the match, the home team called for a penalty and Messi was one of several who protested. It resulted in the Argentine world star being warned.
Messi has scored 15 goals and as many assists in 16 games in MLS this season.
