Inter Miami returned from the World Cup break with a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire on Saturday, despite an unfortunate own goal. The team started goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo for the first time since March 14, but his performance may keep him out of the lineup for a while.
The match began poorly for Miami when a defensive mix-up led to an own goal, giving Chicago an early lead. However, Inter Miami responded with two goals in the second half to secure the win. The victory keeps them in playoff contention.
Ríos Novo, who had not played for the club in over three months, was given the start due to injuries and international duty. He struggled at times, and it remains unclear when he will feature again. The young goalkeeper will need to work hard to earn another chance.
Inter Miami's next match is against a rival team, and they will look to build on this win. The team's offense showed resilience after the early setback, and the defense tightened up in the second half. Fans will hope this marks a positive turn for the season.
