Inter Miami came to Saputo Stadium and did enough to leave with three points, edging CF Montréal 0-1 in a game that remained scoreless at the break. The visitors dominated possession at 57 percent and had plenty of chances to show for it, registering 20 shots compared to Montréal's eight. Both keepers had to be sharp though, with only two efforts on target apiece finding their mark. Rocco Ríos Novo was the difference maker for Miami, putting in a commanding display that earned him the man of the match nod. Montréal pushed hard for an equalizer, especially in the second half, and carved out a couple of decent openings. They won five corners to Miami's six and kept the game competitive despite being outshot significantly. But one moment of Miami's quality proved decisive, and the hosts couldn't find a way past a well-organized visiting side. It's a frustrating loss on home soil for Montréal, while Miami's clinical finishing edges them closer to the top of the table.
