Messi-led Miami 1 win from MLS points record
Inter Miami stands just one victory away from breaking the record for most points earned in a single Major League Soccer regular season after a last-minute 1-0 win over Toronto FC on Saturday at BMO Field.
Forward Leonardo Campana broke the draw in the 93rd minute of the match when finding the back of the net off of a pass from teammate Luis Suárez, scoring his eighth goal of the season and propelling the Herons closer to history.
Despite the significance of the match, head coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino chose to rest several key players and rotate the starting lineup after Miami secured the MLS Supporters’ Shield as the best regular-season team last week.
Suárez, Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets only entered the game late in the second half, but still managed to make a positive impact.
“Playing Suarez and Messi late is something that we defined on Friday,” said Martino. “It was logical that after two complete games, as most of them had played, we would make a rotation. It seemed to me that if I made the rotation, I should make it deep … and well we were able to meet the two objectives: one for the players to have some rest and the other to win the game, which is what we wanted.
“We wanted to start from what it represents, especially on a motivational level, and to be able to achieve the points record.”
The New England Revolution currently hold the MLS record after managing 73 points in 2021, but one more triumph in the final game of the campaign would propel Inter Miami to reach 74 points and set a new standard.
Fittingly, Miami will attempt to clinch the title when hosting New England on Oct.19 on the final day of the regular season at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The Herons have already made history this season by winning the Supporters’ Shield, their first piece of MLS silverware since debuting as an expansion franchise in 2020.
The triumph also means Inter Miami will have home-field advantage for the entirety of the MLS playoffs.
“Having home-field advantage is amazing, especially with our fans. It’s the perfect situation for us,” said Inter Miami defender Ian Fray.
Miami will kick off the Round One best-of-three game at Chase Stadium on Oct. 25 against the winner of the Eastern Conference Wild Card match.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
