Inter Miami CF failed to find a goal for the first time in MLS play in 2025 on Sunday, playing to a scoreless draw in their visit to Chicago Fire FC.

After a grueling and physical Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal win against LAFC midweek, the Herons looked a step behind Chicago and struggled to create promising attacks. However, Lionel Messi hit the crossbar twice from free kicks, and Maxi Falcon had a standout performance at center back.

The draw is Miami's third of the season and second in as many weeks in MLS, after only managing a 1–1 tie with Toronto FC on Matchday 7. They remain unbeaten, but face a tough test against Columbus Crew SC on Matchday 9, especially since Javier Mascherano might rest players ahead of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
