Supporters' Shield leaders Inter Miami return to Chase Stadium to take on the reigning MLS Cup champions Columbus Crew in Major League Soccer action on Wednesday.
The Herons are coming off a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union away from home at Subaru Park. It wasn't as simple as head coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino had hoped, as Miami scored a stoppage-time winner with Leo Afonso coming off the bench to put the Herons ahead despite finishing the game with nine men.
On the other side of the clash, the Crew also just about managed to scoop three points on the road against a tricky NYCFC side. Ultimately, Cucho Hernandez's penalty kick clinched Columbus' 3-2 triumph, despite Santiago Rodriguez pulling one back for the hosts late in the game.
