Sam Surridge scored a crucial equalizer in the first minute of second-half stoppage time, securing a 2-2 draw for visiting Nashville SC against Inter Miami on Saturday evening. Surridge’s goal, his second of the match and 15th of the season, came after Inter Miami’s Shak Mohammed shot was saved by Nashville goalkeeper Dayne St Clair. Surridge capitalized on the rebound, helping Nashville, who are leading the Eastern Conference, secure a point on the road against second-place Inter Miami. His goal canceled out a 2-1 lead from Lionel Messi, who scored his league-high 19th goal of the season and 99th across all competitions. Messi’s goal came in the 62nd minute after receiving a pass from Rodrigo De Paul and sending a powerful shot past Nashville’s Brian Schwake. In the final moments of the match, Miami had a chance to win, but De Paul’s shot hit the left post, ending the game in a draw. Despite Messi’s goal, Miami extended their winless streak in their last eight league matches, while Nashville extended their unbeaten run against Miami to four games across all competitions. In another match, André Luiz scored his first goal in Major League Soccer (MLS) to help Sporting Kansas City secure a surprising 3-1 victory over visiting Los Angeles FC on Saturday night. Stefan Cleveland made six saves to keep the game in Kansas City’s favor, while Taylor Calheira and Jacob Bartlett also added goals. The win ended a three-game losing streak for Kansas City, which had not won since July 22. Los Angeles FC’s Denis Bouanga scored the lone goal for his team, ending their four-game unbeaten streak. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris made five saves, but the loss marked the first time since May 17 that LA allowed three goals in a match. Orlando City extended their winning streak to three games with a 3-0 victory over visiting Toronto FC on Saturday. Antoine Griezmann, who scored for the fifth consecutive game, gave the Lions the lead in the first minute of stoppage time in the first half. Griezmann capitalized on a pass from Zakaria Taifi, who sent a cross from the right side that Griezmann headed under the crossbar. Rookie forward Harvey Sarajian added his first MLS goal in the 82nd minute, finishing a short pass from Daryl Dike to make it 2-0. Ivan Angulo sealed the win in the sixth minute of second-half stoppage time with a goal from the top of the penalty area. The victory ended Toronto’s seven-game unbeaten streak, with their first loss since July 25. Orlando, meanwhile, remained unbeaten in their last five matches. FC Cincinnati drew 3-3 with visiting Charlotte FC on Saturday night, with Kevin Denkey scoring twice in the second half to tie the game. Denkey’s second goal came in extra time after a corner kick and an assist from Bryan Ramírez. Pavel Bucha also scored for Cincinnati. Liel Abada and Pep Biel scored in the first half for Charlotte, who extended their unbeaten streak to seven games. The draw allowed Charlotte to move into fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings, surpassing Chicago ahead of the Fire’s upcoming home match against the New England Revolution.
