Javier Morales’ Inter Miami reign has disastrous start as Kamal Miller sees red in loss to DC United
Javier Morales’ Inter Miami reign gets off to a disastrous start as Kamal Miller sees red within the first eight minutes of defeat to Wayne Rooney’s D.C. United – two days after Phil Neville’s sacking from the rock bottom club
Inter Miami’s new era began the same way the previous one ended – in a disastrous defeat.
New head coach Javier Morales is said to have kickstarted the Miami Revolution against Wayne Rooney’s DC United after replacing another former Manchester United star in Phil Neville this week.
But Morales’ reign couldn’t have started worse when Kamal Miller saw a red card in the first eight minutes of the MLS clash on Saturday night.
Playing a man down, Miami struggled to fend off the visitors’ onslaught, but D.C. eventually broke the deadlock through Donovan Pines.
Christian Benteke appeared to have put the game on ice as he batted past a beleaguered Drake Callender.
But Ian Fray handed the Herons a lifeline and halted the influx of fans leaving Drive Pink Stadium by clawing one back with seven minutes of stoppage time left on the clock.
But even Fray’s last chance to save a point for the Herons at the bottom wasn’t enough to see them turn their season around with Benteke and co. looking forward to the 2-1 victory.
