"Inter Miami, the reigning MLS Cup champions, were without their talisman, whose next goal will mark the 900th of his glittering career, for Saturday's trip to the Bank of America Stadium. And they could not find a way through a stern Charlotte defence."
"Luis Suarez squandered two early chances, while Kristijan Kahlina kept out an effort from Ian Fray. Wilfried Zaha had Charlotte's best chance, but the former Crystal Palace attacker was denied by Rocco Rios Novo midway through the second half."
"It was a tight contest, with both sides probably doing enough to score at least one each, as evidenced by Charlotte's 1.08 expected goals to Miami's 0.98 xG."
Inter Miami, the reigning MLS Cup champions, drew 0-0 with Charlotte FC in the absence of Lionel Messi, whose next goal will be his 900th career goal. Luis Suarez had two early chances but failed to convert either, while Kristijan Kahlina made a save against Ian Fray. Wilfried Zaha had Charlotte's best opportunity but was denied by Rocco Rios Novo in the second half. The match was competitive, with both teams generating similar expected goals (Charlotte 1.08, Miami 0.98), suggesting both sides had opportunities to score.
