"Lionel Messi and Inter Miami suffered a blow in their hopes of winning back-to-back Supporters' Shields after a 1-1 draw at Toronto FC on Saturday. Miami (16-6-8), which clinched a playoff spot midweek, came into the game 28 points above Toronto in the Eastern Conference. But Djordje Mihailovic scored in the 60th minute for his first goal for Toronto to give the Canadian club its seventh straight draw after Tadeo Allende scored in first-half stoppage time for Miami."
""I think we deserved to win," Miami head coach Javier Mascherano told a news conference. "We had the most clear chances during the game. "Maybe we had 10, 15 minutes in the second half where we were a little bit confused. But in the end, we had the game under control, keeping the ball, attacking. I think their goalkeeper [ Sean Johnson] was the man of the match."
Inter Miami drew 1-1 at Toronto FC, jeopardizing the club's pursuit of back-to-back Supporters' Shields with four regular-season games remaining. Tadeo Allende opened scoring with a first-half stoppage-time header from Jordi Alba's cross for his ninth goal of the season. Djordje Mihailovic equalized in the 60th minute for his first goal for Toronto, giving the Canadian club its seventh straight draw. Lionel Messi had six shots, four on target, but failed to score. Miami coach Javier Mascherano said the team deserved to win, credited Toronto goalkeeper Sean Johnson, and emphasized moving forward to win remaining matches.
