Javier Morales’ reign over Inter Miami gets off to a disastrous start as Kamal Miller sees red in the first eight minutes of defeat to Wayne Rooney’s DC United – two days after Phil Neville was sacked from the lowest club
The new era of Inter Miami began the same way the previous one ended – with a disastrous defeat.
New head coach Javier Morales has reportedly sought to start Miami’s revolution against Wayne Rooney’s DC United after replacing another former Manchester United star in Phil Neville this week.
But Morales’ reign couldn’t have gotten off to a worse start when Kamal Miller saw red in the opening eight minutes of Saturday night’s MLS clash.
Playing a man down, Miami struggled to fend off the visitors’ attack but DC finally broke the deadlock thanks to Donovan Pines.
Christian Benteke looked to have put the game on ice when he passed a beleaguered Drake Callender.
But Ian Fray gave the Herons a lifeline and halted the flood of fans running out of Drive Pink Stadium by collecting a comeback with seven minutes of added time remaining.
However, even Fray’s last chance to save a point for the bottom Herons wasn’t enough to see them start turning their season around with Benteke and co. see the 2-1 victory.
More soon.
