Inter Miami secured a decisive 4-0 victory over D.C. United, snapping a five-match winless streak that included four draws and one loss. Lionel Messi was instrumental, scoring two goals to increase his league-leading tally to 23 for the season. Luis Suárez also contributed significantly with two goals, while Germán Berterame provided two assists. This win marked the first league triumph for Inter Miami's new coach, Cristian “Kily” González, who assumed his role on September 16. Messi played the entire 90 minutes, just days after his farewell match with the Argentine national team. D.C. United, conversely, extended its winless run to five matches. Messi's goals came in the 47th and 60th minutes, following Suárez's first-half brace. Rodrigo De Paul assisted Messi's second goal.
