Past Regular Season Match

Inter Miami secured a valuable 0-1 victory on the road over CF Montréal last Saturday.

A late strike by Suárez, his sixth goal in the last three regular season games, secured the win for Inter Miami at Stade Saputo in Montreal, Canada to extend our winning run to six this regular season. The match also saw recent Marquee signing Casemiro make his debut in Club colors.

Inter Miami this Regular Season

Overall, Inter Miami has recorded 11 wins, two losses, and four draws so far this MLS regular season for a total 37 points, and sits second in the Eastern Conference standings.

Leo Messi, the reigning MLS Landon Donovan MVP Award and Golden Boot presented by Audi winner, leads the team in goals with 12 so far. Midfielder Telasco Segovia and Messi, meanwhile, are tied as Inter Miami's top assist providers so far this league campaign with eight each.

Previously Against Columbus Crew

Saturday's meeting presents the 12th meeting between the sides in Club history. Inter Miami leads the series with seven wins to three for Columbus Crew, while another matchup restulted in a draw. 

Inter Miami aims to extend its current three-match winning run against the Crew. Last time out, the teams faced off last May in 2025 MLS regular season action in an encounter which saw Inter Miami secure a 5-1 victory at home.
