dramatic 3-2 victory over the Chicago Fire on Wednesday night at Fort
Lauderdale.
Indiana Vassilev and Robbie Robinson also
scored goals for Inter Miami (5-9-4, 19 points). Gonzalo Higuain had
two assists as Inter Miami improved to 3-1-2 over their last six matches.
Luka Stojanovic had one goal and one assist for Chicago, which remains winless (0-6-1) on the road this season.

was a key figure in Miami's winning goal as he found Victor Ulloa,
who then fed Pizarro the ball. Pizzaro sent a hard right-foot shot to the left
of Fire goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth into
the right corner of the goal.
Miami
had a 12-8 edge in shots and placed four on target to Chicago's three.
Chicago

a pass to a wide-open Stojanovic, who sent a straight-on right-footed shot into
the upper left corner of the net.
Miami tied the game in the 62nd minute as Higuain delivered a
crisp pass to Robinson. The No. 1 overall pick in 2020 then sent a right-footed
shot into the top right corner of the net.
Higuain
had a chance to put Miami ahead in the 87th minute but sent a right-footed
blast over the net.
Miami
struck first in the 34th minute as Robinson took a right-footed shot that was
saved by Shuttleworth. But Vassilev was there for the rebound and booted a
right-footer into the net.
The
Fire tied the score six minutes later when Stojanovic took a corner kick and
sent the ball into the box. Calvo sent a glancing header toward the net that
caromed off the hands of Marsman and into the net.
Next game for Inter is on sat when they host Toronto.
