Inter Miami picked up a 1–0 victory over hosts CF Montréal on Saturday night, as Brazilian soccer legend Casemiro made his MLS debut in pink; however, it was anything but a celebratory atmosphere.
Luis Suárez scored the lone goal in the 81st minute after a 10-minute stoppage in play due to a freak collision that saw striker Germán Berterame taken away in an ambulance. The Mexican international rose to contest a header with Montréal center back Efraín Morales and hit the ground without movement after a shoulder to the back of the head. Players rapidly called for medical attention as Berterame appeared to fall limp, with his chin chattering before emergency staff was able to reach the field. The ambulance drove onto the pitch, and Berterame was taken straight to hospital, where he began his recovery.
