FC Cincinnati faced a challenging evening last weekend as they fell to Inter Miami 2-0 in an MLS match that left many questioning the officiating and the visiting team’s overall performance. The match played at Chase Stadium in South Florida was marked by two early goals from Luis Suarez, a red card for Inter Miami, and post-match frustrations, particularly from Cincinnati defender DeAndre Yedlin.
The match began disastrously for Cincinnati, who conceded two goals within the first six minutes. The seasoned Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez found the back of the net just 30 seconds after the opening whistle; setting a new record for the fastest goal in Miami’s history.
