A great goal from the Venezuelan Joseph Martinez in the 90th minute he salvaged a point ‘in extremis’ for between miamiwho signed a 2-2 draw this Tuesday against Columbus Crew and that, waiting Leo Messi and Sergio Busquetshas two draws and seven losses in the last nine league games.
Martínez received a center from the Ecuadorian Leonardo Campana and showed a fantastic shot between the scissors and the Chilean. It was the Venezuelan’s 104th goal in MLS, ranking him in the ‘top 10’ of top scorers in league history. Despite the epic goal of Martínez, the team from Florida, which is at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, has not achieved three points in the league since last May 13, when they beat the New England Revolution 2-1.
Since then, Inter Miami has lost to Nashville (2-1), Orlando City (1-3), Montreal (1-0), New York Red Bulls (0-1), DC United (1-2), the New England Revolution (3-1) and Philadelphia Union (4-1) and drew last weekend against Austin (1-1).
Argentine Javier Morales continues as Inter Miami’s interim coach until the paperwork is resolved so that his compatriot Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino, who was announced last week as the pink team’s new coach, can sit on the bench.
In this match played on the US holiday on July 4, Darlington Nagbe, with a wonderful splice from the edge of the area after a corner kick, put Columbus Crew ahead in the 23rd minute, but Campana, also headed on a kick from a corner, equalized in the 57th minute for Inter Miami.
The visiting team, led by the Colombian ‘Cucho’ Hernández and the Argentine-Armenian Lucas Zelarayán, took the lead again in the 69th minute thanks to a goal from the Colombian-American Christian Ramírez, but Martínez, in the final stages of the match, closing the final tie.
Inter Miami occupies the last position in the East with only 17 points after 20 games with five wins, two draws (both coming in their last two games) and 13 losses. Next Saturday he travels to Washington to face DC United coached by Englishman Wayne Rooney.
