Inter Miami's pursuit of Nashville at the top of the Major League Soccer Eastern Conference was hindered by a 2-2 draw against San Diego. Danish forward Anders Dreyer scored both goals for San Diego at Miami's Nu Stadium. Dreyer opened the scoring in the 12th minute, assisted by Jeppe Tverskov. Lionel Messi equalized for Inter Miami in the 24th minute with his 101st club goal from a free kick. Inter Miami took the lead in the 74th minute when Luis Suarez scored, assisted by Rodrigo De Paul. However, San Diego secured a point when Dreyer scored his second goal, again assisted by Tverskov, mirroring their first goal. Miami now trails Nashville by 11 points with eight regular season games remaining. Goalkeeper Dayne St Clair made a crucial late save from Kieran Sargeant to prevent a San Diego winner.
