Surez penalty kick seals Inter Miami win after Berterame knocked unconscious
in collision
MONTREAL (AP) --- Luis Surez scored on a penalty kick in the 81st minute after
Germn Berterame was fouled, knocked unconscious and taken away in an ambulance
in Inter Miami's 1-0 win over CF Montreal on Saturday night.
Berterame was injured when he banged heads with Montreal defender Efran
Morales. There was no immediate details on the 27-year-old forward's condition.
"Berterame is conscious and is doing well," interim coach Guillermo Hoyos said
in Spanish after the game. "The blow was very strong but he is recovering."
Surez sent a soft shot past Sbastian Breza for his ninth goal of the season
and his sixth in the last three matches to give Inter Miami its sixth straight
victory.
Rocco Ros Novo saved two shots for Inter Miami (11-2-4) in his third start and
second clean sheet this season.
Breza had one save in his second start this season for Montreal (4-10-3) and
the 37th of his career. He has never had a shutout.
Lionel Messi has not played in Inter Miami's first two matches following the
World Cup after Argentina's runner-up finish. However, Carlos Casemiro, who
played for Brazil in the event, made his MLS debut for the team after a
successful career with Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid.
Inter Miami has won three straight against Montreal.
Montreal has scored one goal in three matches since the World Cup break, going
0-2-1.
