Inter Miami rallied from a 1-0 deficit to draw 1-1 with D.C. United after a much-changed starting lineup. D.C. took the lead in the 13th minute through captain Jackson Hopkins, and Miami started slowly without injured Lionel Messi. Javier Mascherano rested several regulars ahead of a Leagues Cup semi-final, prompting early second-half substitutions that introduced Baltasar Rodriguez, Sergio Busquets and Rodrigo De Paul. Rodriguez scored his first MLS goal in the 64th minute with a sensational first-time half-volley into the far corner. Jacob Murrell twice threatened a D.C. winner, and Miami earned a point while D.C. exited playoff contention.
