Inter Miami 3-5 Chicago Fire: Eight-goal thriller sees visitors clinch playoff spot - Soccer News
"Miami entered Tuesday's match seven points behind the Eastern Conference and Supporters Shield leaders, the Philadelphia Union, with two games in hand, knowing two wins were needed to give them a realistic chance of the regular-season title. But they were 2-0 down within 31 minutes, with Dje Tah D'Avilla heading Maren Haile-Selassie's 11th-minute corner home before Jonathan Dean squeezed a shot under Oscar Ustari on the break."
"Miami did come roaring back after half-time, with Luis Suarez leading their fightback. He tucked home following neat work from substitute Baltasar Rodriguez, then after Messi went close from range, the Uruguayan curled home brilliantly in the 74th minute. However, Chicago quickly picked themselves up, with Mauricio Pineda squaring to give Justin Reynolds the simplest of finishes 10 minutes from time."
Chicago Fire secured a 5-3 away victory over Inter Miami to clinch at least a play-in spot in the MLS Cup Playoffs. Dje Tah D'Avilla opened the scoring from an 11th-minute corner and Jonathan Dean converted on the break to make it 2-0 inside 31 minutes. Tomas Aviles pulled one back, but Rominigue Kouame restored Chicago's two-goal lead just before halftime. Luis Suarez scored twice after the break to bring Miami level, yet late goals from Justin Reynolds and Brian Gutierrez sealed the win. The Fire reached 51 points and the postseason for the first time since 2017.
