KNOW YOUR CLUB – Miami FC
Miami FC returns home Saturday night looking to build on another encouraging performance after earning a hard fought 2-2 draw against Detroit City FC last weekend.
Facing one of the Eastern Conference’s top playoff contenders, Miami showed character to erase a first half deficit through goals from Jürgen Locadia and Gerald Díaz before narrowly missing out on all three points following a late equalizer. Goalkeeper Eloy Room preserved the result in dramatic fashion, denying a stoppage time penalty to cap another resilient team performance.
