Story

In a thrilling match on Wednesday night, teenager Benjamin Cremaschi led Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over Charlotte FC, extending their unbeaten run on the road to eight games. Despite missing star players Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, who are representing their countries in the Copa America, Inter Miami secured their fourth consecutive 2-1 win and maintained a two-point lead in the Supporters' Shield race over FC Cincinnati. The absence of Messi and Suárez, who have collectively contributed 12 goals and 18 assists this season, did not hinder Inter Miami's performance. The game saw Inter Miami take an early lead in the 30th minute through a goal by Robert Taylor, assisted by defender Jordi Alba. Charlotte FC fought back and equalized in the 41st minute with a goal from Patrick Agyemang, assisted by Jere Uronen. The match remained deadlocked until the 86th minute when Cremaschi scored the winning goal, his third of the season, with assists from Julian Gressel and Alba. Gressel, who recently achieved his 100th career goal contribution, provided his ninth assist of the season. Charlotte FC's Agyemang received yellow cards in both halves and will miss the next match. Inter Miami's Callender and Taylor are on the verge of reaching 100 appearances for the club. Charlotte's goalkeeper, Kristijan Kahlina, who leads the league with nine shutouts this season, made two crucial saves during the game. Charlotte, coming off consecutive away matches, will not play at home for the rest of the month, while Inter Miami will face FC Cincinnati next on the road. The victory solidifies Inter Miami's position at the top of the league standings as they continue their impressive run this season.
