On Sunday, Sept. 27, the Columbus Crew defeated Inter Miami 2-1 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field in Columbus, Ohio, with Jamal Thiaré scoring the winning goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time.
Josef Martínez opened the scoring for the Crew with a 28th-minute penalty kick, but Lionel Messi equalized five minutes later by converting a free kick from an "absurd angle."

The Crew travels to face Orlando on Oct. 10, while Miami hosts D.C. United on the same day, both teams looking to bounce back from Sunday's result.
