Inter Miami resumed activity in Major League Soccer with a victory over Chicago Fire, although the match had an unexpected start due to an unusual mistake by Rocco Ríos Novo.
At 18 minutes into the first half, the goalkeeper received a back pass from defender Ian Fray during a buildup from the back. Pressured by the arrival of forward Robert Lewandowski, he attempted to clear it first time, but missed the shot and the ball slowly ended up entering his own goal, making it 1-0 for the visitors.
After the unfortunate incident, both Ian Fray and Brazilian defender Micael quickly approached to support the goalkeeper, who was visibly affected by the error.
Despite the psychological blow, Inter Miami managed to react and turned the score around to secure an important victory of 3-2 in their return to the local tournament.
