Hartford Athletic grabbed a 2-1 win over Miami FC, decided by a stoppage-time goal from Eloy Room after the sides traded strikes either side of half-time. Miami had more of the ball, but Hartford found the decisive moment when it mattered most.
Barry Coffey put Hartford ahead in the 16th minute, and Jürgen Locadia equalised for Miami right on the stroke of half-time, assisted by Mason Tunbridge. The game looked set to finish level until Eloy Room struck in the 90th minute to snatch all three points.
Miami dominated possession with 58% and completed 351 passes to Hartford's 212, yet both sides had 15 shots and four on target. Hartford were outplayed in the middle of the pitch but took their chances, while Miami's pressure counted for little as the clock ran down.
