Inter Miami CF snatched a 1-0 win over CF Montreal at Stade Saputo thanks to Luis Suárez's 81st-minute strike. The visitors controlled possession with 57% and fired 20 shots to Montreal's eight, but the hosts created the better chances, with an expected goals tally of 2.07 to Inter Miami's 1.72.
The only goal of the game came nine minutes from time when Suárez converted to put Inter Miami ahead. Montreal had earlier missed two big chances, while Inter Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender made one save. The match saw bookings for Inter Miami's Ian Fray (23rd minute) and Montreal's Telasco Segovia (84th minute).
Despite dominating the shot count and possession, Inter Miami had only two shots on target—the same as Montreal. The difference was that Montreal failed to score from their two big chances, while Inter Miami scored from their one big chance. The visitors finished with more accurate passes (458 to 323) and committed 13 fouls to Montreal's seven.
