Charlotte and Inter Miami played out a goalless stalemate at Bank of America Stadium, with the visitors slightly on top for large stretches. Miami controlled possession and forced Charlotte to be direct, though the hosts created the better chances and had five efforts on target to Miami's three. It was a cagey, tight affair typical of early season MLS, with neither side able to find the breakthrough despite some promising moments in both halves. Inter Miami's Rocco Ríos Novo was the standout performer and earned the official Man of the Match award with a rating of 9.2 out of 10, keeping things solid at the back when Charlotte pressed forward. The draw leaves both sides with a point apiece on the road to the playoffs, though Charlotte will feel they should've made their dominance in front of goal count for more than 0-0.
