Brazilian midfielder Casemiro made his debut for Inter Miami despite an ongoing investigation by Major League Soccer (MLS) into his transfer to the United States club.<\/p>\n

The former Manchester United man played the full match as Inter Miami defeated Montreal 1-0 on Saturday. Last week, MLS said it was investigating a \u201ctampering allegation\u201d against the club following Casemiro\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

The league\u2019s inquiry cast a shadow over the midfielder\u2019s arrival, with MLS saying it would withhold details of a settlement between Inter Miami and LA Galaxy over Casemiro\u2019s \u201cdiscovery rights\u201d until the review concludes.<\/p>\n

Under MLS rules, clubs must negotiate discovery rights with any team that previously listed a player before signing him outside the draft or free agency. The Galaxy had held rights to Casemiro before he opted to join Miami instead.<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s 1-0 win in Canada came courtesy of an 81st-minute Luis Suarez penalty. The spot kick was awarded after German Berterame banged heads with Montreal defender Efrain Morales in the box.<\/p>\n

Berterame was knocked unconscious and taken away in an ambulance following the collision.<\/p>\n

Inter Miami interim coach Guillermo Hoyos confirmed after the match that Berterame was conscious and \u201cdoing well\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe blow was very strong, but he is recovering,\u201d Hoyos added.<\/p>\n

Suarez sent a soft shot past Sebastian Breza for his ninth goal of the season and his sixth in the last three matches to give Inter Miami their sixth straight victory.<\/p>\n

Lionel Messi was rested once again as he continues his recovery following Argentina\u2019s run to the World Cup final.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Casemiro plays, Messi sits out in his post-World Cup rest and Suarez scores to give Miami sixth straight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352871,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[4101,19307,9984,15298,57,667,3446,123,125,124,115,197,4571,4572],"class_list":["post-352870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-argentina","tag-brazil","tag-canada","tag-europe","tag-football","tag-investigation","tag-latin-america","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-news","tag-sport","tag-united-states","tag-us-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352870"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352870\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352871"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
