Gonzalo Higuain Fails to Impress in Inter Miami Debut, MLS Match Results & Betting Tips

The stage was set for international superstar Gonzalo Higuain last Sunday.

As MLS’s latest marquee signing, much was expected of the former Juventus striker who made his debut for Inter Miami over the weekend. Instead, what followed, was a rude awakening for Higuain against a motivated Philadelphia Union opposition.

Favoring long passes and taking advantage of mistakes made by Miami, Philadelphia were brilliant with their finishing that stunned Higuain and his teammates in a 3-0 win for the Union. To make matters worse for the Argentine newcomer, he also launched a penalty shot into the stands that should have been a simple debut goal.

Undoubtedly, a frustrating introduction to MLS for Higuain.

New England Revolution 3-1 Montreal Impact (Sep 23)

Carried by an impressive performance by Diego Fagundez, Revolution kicked off their noteworthy week with a solid 3-1 win over the Impact.

Atlanta United 1-0 FC Dallas (Sep 23)

Although they would eventually go back to their losing ways later on in the week, Atlanta’s six-game winless streak was snapped last Wednesday in their 1-0 win.

New York City FC 0-1 Toronto FC (Sep 23)

In what could have easily ended in a 0-0 draw, Toronto has gifted a late penalty that helped secure their narrow 1-0 win off a goal from Alejandro Pozuelo.

Chicago Fire 4-0 Houston Dynamo (Sep 23)

Once a struggling side, Chicago was firing on all cylinders in last week’s one-sided win. Keep an eye on the Illinois club that would later go on to find more success in the weekend.

FC Cincinnati 0-0 Philadelphia Union (Sep 23)

A fairly dull affair which only featured one shot on target in total from both sides. A draw seemed all but assured throughout the game.

Columbus Crew 2-1 Minnesota United (Sep 23)

Another big performance from Columbus’ Pedro Santos and Lucas Zelarayan, who both pitched in with a goal and assist each.

Sporting Kansas City 1-2 Orlando City (Sep 23)

More problems for Sporting Kansas City. The two-time MLS Cup champions have now suffered three losses in their last four games.

Inter Miami 1-4 New York Red Bulls (Sep 23)

The beginning of a highly disappointing week for Miami. After allowing four goals at home, the Florida squad later went on to allow three in Higuain’s debut just a few days later.

Nashville SC 1-0 DC United (Sep 23)

A red for Russell Canouse halted DC United’s momentum, and an ensuing goal for Daniel Rios in the 70th minute helped earn the win for Nashville.

Colorado Rapids 5-0 San Jose Earthquakes (Sep 23)

Not a bad run of form for the Rapids. For the second time this month, Colorado has scored five times in a single game.

Real Salt Lake 2-0 LA Galaxy (Sep 23)

A step forward for a Real Salt Lake roster that had shown a number of defensive issues in recent games. Goals in the 2nd half helped clinch just their third victory since August.

Portland Timbers 1-0 Seattle Sounders (Sep 23)

Despite the fact that it was Seattle who had more attacking efforts and possession, it was Portland who sneaked past their rivals with an early goal from Yimmi Chara.

LAFC 6-0 Vancouver Whitecaps (Sep 23)

The award for the most dominant result of the week goes to LAFC, who scored five of their six goals before halftime. If only they could keep up that form in their following match…

Nashville SC 1-1 Houston Dynamo (Sep 26)

Despite the fact that Nashville fans were gutted that they allowed a goal in the 89th minute, it ultimately wasn’t a bad week for the team that claimed 4 points from two games.

New York City FC 4-0 FC Cincinnati (Sep 26)

An incredible bounce back from a New York side that were held scoreless in their previous defeat. Two goals from Alexandru Mitriță helped lead the way.

DC United 0-2 New England Revolution (Sep 27)

Two goals that arrived after the 85th minute secured a second consecutive win in a row for New England. The Revolution are now undefeated in their last three games.

Another high-scoring win for the Red Bulls. Following their 4-1 win over Miami, New York once again collected four in their latest victory.

Chicago Fire 2-0 Atlanta United (Sep 27)

Keeping up their goalscoring form, Robert Beric and Fabian Herbers both found the back of the net for a second consecutive game for Chicago.

Philadelphia Union 3-0 Inter Miami (Sep 27)

Union spoiled the party for Higuain in his debut for Miami. An eye-opening MLS welcome for the Argentine superstar.

Toronto FC 3-1 Columbus Crew (Sep 27)

Are Toronto dark horses for the MLS Cup title? Wins against New York City FC and Columbus point to a promising end to the season.

Minnesota United 0-0 Real Salt Lake (Sep 27)

Goalkeepers Dayne St. Clair and Andrew Putna halted a long list of changes that could have easily made this a high-scoring result for either team.

FC Dallas 0-0 Orlando City (Sep 27)

Orlando appeared ready to earn another win before being shown a red in the 69th minute. Down to 10 players, the Florida team failed to find the back of the net.

Vancouver Whitecaps 0-1 Portland Timbers (Sep 27)

Another narrow win for a Timbers roster that seems to be showing a penchant for early goals. Portland is now heading into this week with a three-game winning streak.

LA Galaxy 1-3 Seattle Sounders (Sep 27)

In a result which perhaps says more about the Galaxy’s problems than Seattle, the Sounders clinched their third victory of the month.

LAFC 1-2 San Jose Earthquakes (Sep 27)

The worst defensive team in the league defeated one of the best-attacking teams in the league. Go figure.
