Inter Miami’s hopes of defending their Supporters’ Shield title from 2024 took a hit on Saturday night, as the Herons drew 1–1 with D.C. United at Audi Field in Washington, D.C. 

While the Herons travelled without Designated Players Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, head coach Javier Mascherano also opted to rotate the squad, making it just the third time since the summer of 2023 that no former FC Barcelona players started an MLS regular season match. 

Struggling D.C., who have now not won in 11 straight league games, took early advantage of Miami’s makeshift lineup with Jackson Hopkins smashing a 13th-minute shot past Miami’s third goalkeeper, Rocco Rios Novo. 

D.C. were unable to hold onto the lead, though, as Miami made five subs and got a 64th-minute tying strike from Baltasar Rodríguez. 

With the draw, Miami fell to fifth in the Eastern Conference and have eight matches remaining.
