The Columbus Crew keeps an unbeaten streak alive, but Inter Miami's goal in the 90th minute secured a 2-2 draw on the Fourth of July.
Crew coach Wilfried Nancy's full press conference after a 2-2 draw at Inter Miami on July 4, 2023.The stands at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale won’t have vacancies for long. TheTuesday night, though, Messi wasn’t there. Neither were other expected additions for, a team mired at the bottom of the Eastern Conference at Major League Soccer.
What should have been a bigger halftime lead for the Crew was instead just a 1-0 advantage for the visitors, and Miami would make them pay within the first 15 minutes of the second half. Interim coach Javier Morales swapped leading scorer Josef Martinez for Leonardo Campana up top in the Miami attack after Martinez had started the last five games.
The goal was Ramirez’s eighth of the season, tying him with Zelarayan for the team lead, and his fifth in the last six games. It stood to be the winner until Martinez’s equalizer, but the Crew remains unbeaten in seven straight games while going 5-0-2 in that stretch. Miami earned a tie for a second consecutive game but remains winless since a 2-1 win against New England on May 13.
The Crew spent much of the first 20 minutes probing the left side of Miami’s defense, but midfielder Ben Cremaschi was equal to the Crew’s Max Arfsten. But when Cremaschi’s sliding tackle in the 23rd minute dispossessed the forward making his second career start, it set up the second corner of the evening for the visitors and sent Zelarayan to the flag. His in-swinging service was punched away from the goal by Callender, but not out of harm’s way.
