Inter Miami CF grabbed a hard-fought 1-1 draw on the road against Toronto FC, stretching their unbeaten streak to four games in the MLS regular season. The match at BMO Field showcased some tense moments, with Tadeo Allende delivering the key goal for the visitors.
Right from the start, Inter Miami looked sharp. In the 12th minute, Robert Taylor—wait, no, the article says Rodríguez—fired a right-footed shot from the edge of the box, but Toronto’s goalkeeper dove to make the save. Lionel Messi nearly opened the scoring in the 29th minute, latching onto a pass from Sergio Busquets inside the area, only for his low shot to the left post to get tipped away.
Toronto threatened back in the 35th minute when Alonso Coello unleashed a shot from the right side, but Inter Miami keeper Óscar Ustari pulled off a crucial dive to keep it level.
As the first half wound down, Messi tested the keeper again in the 44th minute with a dangerous effort that got blocked. Then, in stoppage time, Allende struck gold. The Argentine forward rose high to head in a pinpoint cross from Jordi Alba at the far post, giving Inter Miami a 1-0 lead at halftime. That marked Allende’s ninth goal of the season and Alba’s 11th assist in the league.
Toronto bounced back strong after the break. In the 60th minute, Djordje Mihailovic leveled the score for the hosts, firing home to make it 1-1.
Inter Miami poured forward in search of a winner, but Toronto held firm. Messi came closest twice late on—a sharp shot from inside the box in the 76th minute sailed to the near post and got saved, while his curling free kick in the 83rd minute met the same fate from the Toronto keeper.
The draw keeps Inter Miami in the mix as they gear up for a quick turnaround. Next up, they host Chicago Fire FC on Tuesday night in another MLS showdown.
