Charlotte FC 1-0 Inter Miami
There was no stopping Inter Miami’s season-ending free fall. Not even with Lionel Messi returning to the starting lineup.
Inter Miami’s 2023 regular season finished on a losing note after an early Kerwin Vargas goal doomed the South Florida side to a 1-0 road defeat to Charlotte FC at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Saturday night. Vargas bagged his second tally against Inter Miami in four days, scoring in the 13th minute of a campaign finale that marked Messi’s first start for the Herons since Sept. 20.
The loss dropped Inter Miami to 9-7-18 on the year, leaving Tata Martino’s men in 14th place in the Eastern Conference with 34 points. Inter Miami finished its slate of competitive games on a seven-match winless run across all competitions.
Inter Miami’s season may be over, but the team is not headed off for vacation just yet. La Rosanegra will have a week off before preparing for a tour of China that will included friendlies against Qingdao Hainiu FC and Chengdu Rongcheng on Nov. 5 and 8, respectively.
