Inter Miami, led by Gerardo Martino and featuring South American stars like Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, drew 0-0 against Columbus Crew in a match held in Ohio. This was part of the 36th matchday of MLS, where Miami was seeking a crucial win to consolidate their lead in the league. Despite the draw, Inter Miami extended their unbeaten streak to six games, although they now have three consecutive draws.

The home team, led by Colombian forward ‘Cucho’ Hernández, applied pressure from the opening minutes but couldn’t break the deadlock. Inter Miami also showed defensive solidity but failed to take advantage of their offensive opportunities in this critical match against their closest competitor in the standings.

Columbus Crew had scored first

A disallowed goal by ‘Cucho’ Hernández highlighted the first half of the match. The most exciting moment came early when, before the 10-minute mark, Colombian ‘Cucho’ Hernández scored what seemed like a stunning goal for Columbus Crew.

However, the controversy didn’t stop there, as Inter Miami quickly responded with an offensive play. After a set-piece from a corner kick, Lionel Messi delivered a precise cross into the box, which was met by a powerful header from Argentine Marcelo Weigandt, sending the ball into the back of the net.

Was Marcelo Weigandt's goal rightly disallowed?

The referees once again intervened, ruling that the goal should be disallowed for offside. This decision sparked even more controversy than the earlier one, as the offside call was not entirely clear, leading to widespread debate.
