Benjamin Kremaschi’s first half goal was enough for Inter Miami, who was sufficient to remain the only undefeated team in MLS after winning a 1-0 win over the Columbus crew in Cleveland on Saturday.
Cremaschi scored runs in the 30th minute and Oscar Ustari made three savings for Miami (5–0-3, 18 points).
The crew (5–1-3, 18 points) failed to break the franchise record for the longest unbeaten line to start a season. He equaled the eight-match mark mark of 2010 (6-0-2).
The match was shifted to a distance of about 145 miles north of Columbus as the owner of the crew, Jimmy and D. Halam, who were owners of NFL Cleveland Brown and his stadium, wanted to cash in on the presence of Miami megastar Lionel Messi.
As a result, the crew did not enjoy the specific benefits providing their normal home-where they have set a record of 21-4-9 in their last 34 MLS regular-season home matches.
While many fans traveled from Columbus, it was no surprise that Pink-Clade Messi/Miami’s fans were almost equal in appearance.
The 60,614 crowd was less than 67,431 capacity.
Cremaschi achieved its first target of the season with a transitional buildup started with Luis Suarez at midfield. He passed one for his right to Marcello Weigandt. After several drills, he sent a crisp service in the middle of the box and ended Kremaschi with diving header.
A minute ago, Ostari saved a response on a tight shot by Max Arfesten to score the match.
Messi made it 2–0 in the first half of the first half stoppage time, but his 25-yard strike widened the left post.
The crew was firing in the second half and became almost equal in the 46th minute, but the razor grew up again with Diego Rossi’s stop. Six minutes later, Rossi saw a clean form, but gave a chance for his sixth goal, with a well off-toorgate.
There were several forces in the final third of the crew, which included the stoppage in the fourth minute of the time when Daniel Gazdag spread to a cross by Andress Herera and redeemed an inch nearby outside the left post.
