Petola, the Finnish international, will sit and put out fires while Pirani only has one goal.
Change of formation from last week. Four in the back, Ruiz and Allen will play as a fullbacks for
Dondo and Gomez. On a gorgeous day in Washington D.C., underway Inter-Miami and D.C. United.
Inter-Miami in the pink, D.C. United in their signature black and red. Set piece is a real
issue for Inter-Miami defending. Bartlett unable to get to it, knocked back in by Dahomey and
Callender able to cover. Not as much time to sit around and think about it. Aaron Herrera
cutting inside for D.C. United. Herrera over Benteke, clearance only as far as Santos.
Callender will collect. Gomez, Freire will step forward, Helto lies there for D.C. Pirani now,
throw for Christian Benteke and it's saved by Callender. Really good chance for Christian
Benteke. Wrong decision there trying to play in Kampana and Bahan. Again D.C. coming forward
quickly, Herrera finds Pirani, leaves for Klitsch. In to throw, good ball, Jared's drive, oh what a goal!
His first for D.C. United is spectacular. D.C. takes the lead 1-0.
I have to say we're going to be a little bit better in possession. Clean, definitive touches
but direct. Klitsch with a great big save. Squad value is figured into the win probability which
favors D.C. United right now and they're looking for a second one. To Benteke, oh Benteke! Callender
making the save after Benteke got around Aviles. It's a slow touch from Taylor or not, it doesn't
matter. Great ball in here, Kampana thinks he's got the goal. First big chance for Miami today and
Alex Bono keeps it with a clean sheet for D.C. Redondo comes up huge but it's Redondo keeping
the play alive. Busquets, Ruiz and how often have we said since he's come into Major League Soccer
that will get Inter-Miami into transition. Gressel serves, Redondo right at Bono, decent chance
off the corner for Miami. See I'm curious from Inter-Miami, you struggle so badly on these
moments defending set pieces, what do you do with Benteke here? Santos looking for Benteke, almost
made its way all the way through Callender. Busquets read it, intercepts. Busquets looking
for Taylor, it's a great ball, oh Bono came, he's in trouble, Robert Taylor off the post!
But this is a ridiculous ball here from Sergio Busquets because it's not hit with the bending
nature to where it pulls away from the goalkeeper, he's hit it at the right pace but the right angle.
All Taylor has to do is run onto it and Bono does a little bit of a good job.
Jared Stroud opened the scoring with a wonderful goal in the 14th minute.
Leonardo Kampana equalized for Inter-Miami, it is 1-1 at halftime at Audi Field.
Christian Benteke awaits the second half kick and now it is underway at Audi Field.
DC United and Inter-Miami tied at one. Entering the second half direct to Benteke,
tried to flick it on to Dahomey, Busquets trying to get it down, Pirani of Ali,
not more than 10 seconds into this half and it's into the arms of Drake Callender.
So who's marking Benteke because in the first half it times it was Busquets.
Clayt looking for Benteke, didn't make it to him, clearance only as far as Herrera,
knocked back in, that's Hawkins for Miami, it's Stroud, that was a wonderful chance
and the flag stayed down. As Luis Suarez comes in here for Robert Taylor,
gives them a little bit of a different look, this would be more of a 4-4-2 I think.
Krimstoff though gives it right back to DC, Herrera of Busquets for DC United.
You can determine if it hits the left hamstring or the left hand but then immediately the other
one. Suarez with patience, are salivating at his prospects but father time may be knocking on the
door, they answer it at some point. On the pitch and that's the same for every team in Major League
Soccer this year and it was figured out how to do it tonight. Borgerlin touch pass Santos,
will this be yellow? No it's red to Pedro Santos, denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity.
Well it all comes off the hold-up play from Suarez, Borgerlin's gonna touch it by Santos here.
Denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity for you, it's far from goal, there's players
coming back. The touch is a little far away, McVay's right there on the shoulder, listen it's
absolutely a foul. And then all of a sudden after two games here, conversations, can Suarez deliver?
Well since then, six goals five assists in all competitions and Tata Martino and Inter-Miami
leave DC with three points.
