It took controversial calls and some tense moments, but neither Inter Miami nor FC Cincinnati were able to find the back of the net on Saturday night, ending the MLS Eastern Conference heavyweight clash with a scoreless draw. 

Yet, even without Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba, who were suspended for skipping the MLS All-Star Game, Miami still found improvement, claiming a point after previously losing 3–0 to Cincinnati 10 days prior. 

Both teams finished with several chances, but the attacking talents of Miami’s Luis Suárez and Fafa Picault, as well as Cincinnati’s Evander and Kei Kamara, were unable to break the deadlock at any point. 

However, it looked like the match would end with some late drama, after U.S. men’s national team defender Miles Robinson headed in a free kick past goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo, before referee Tori Penso called it back for a foul. 

With the draw Miami move to 41 points and sit fifth in the Eastern Conference, while Cincinnati hit 49 points to keep their spot in the top two of the Supporters’ Shield race and conference. 

 Here are the player ratings from Saturday’s heavyweight clash.
