How It Happened
Miami needed a win at the 4:00 PM ET kickoff to lock up second place on its own, and it looked settled by halftime. In the 14th minute, off a corner, right back Ian Fray finished from the center of the box. Miami then lost left back Sergio Reguilón to an injury, with Gonzalo Luján on in the 24th.
Another corner made it 2-0 in the 33rd, when Germán Berterame set up Luis Suárez from close range. In the 42nd, Rodrigo De Paul hit a shot from outside the box into the bottom left corner, assisted by Telasco Segovia, and Miami went in 3-0 up.
Charlotte sent on Tyger Smalls for top scorer Idan Toklomati at halftime, and the match turned. Five minutes in, Smalls set up Abada from close range. In the 55th, Abada scored again from outside the box, assisted by Pep Biel. Miami also lost David Ayala to an injury in the 50th.
Charlotte's triple change in the 69th brought on Aloko, and in the 90th minute he volleyed in from the center of the box with his right foot. Miami had 59.8% of the ball and 15 shots to 11, but each side put five on target.

Model Check
There was no pick to grade: our preview called this no edge, so the return is $0. The model favored Miami at 78% and gave the draw only 5%. The match ended level, so the model's favorite did not win.
What held up and what didn't:
- The draw price. Held. The preview's main objection was the model's 5% draw against a market near 18%, with Miami at 8 draws in 16 home games. It is now 9 in 17 (6-9-2 at home).
- Miami's firepower. Held for a half. Miami scored three before the break, without a goal or an assist from Lionel Messi.
- Miami's goals against. Held. Miami came in having allowed 56, eight more than Charlotte, and gave up three after halftime.
- Charlotte's absences. Didn't hold. Without Allan Saint-Maximin (suspended) and Tim Ream, Charlotte still scored three.
- The swing factor in Orlando. Held. New England lost 1-0 at Orlando, so even the draw kept Miami second.
Total: the preview passed on 3.5 with the over at -165 to -175. Six goals went in, so the over would have won.
Betting Results
- Moneyline (90 minutes): the draw won, at +425 to +450. Miami (-250 to -270) and Charlotte (+500 to +510) lost.
- Total: six goals, so over 3.5 (-165 to -175) won.
