Posted October 20, 2021 7:00 am
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Federico HiguaÃn and Christian Makoun scored to help Inter Miami beat Toronto FC 3-0 on Wednesday night.
Nick Marsmann, who allowed four goals in a loss to Columbus on Saturday, had four saves for Miami (10-15-5).
HiguaÃn stole a pass by goalkeeper Alex Bono and then blasted a roller into the net to open the scoring in the 10th minute. It was the second goal of the season for the 36-year-old HiguaÃn, who was given a yellow card in the 11th minute for excessive celebration.
Makoun scored just before halftime, slipping a shot inside the far post.
A Toronto (6-17-7) own goal in the 61st minute gave Miami a 3-0 lead.
