May 10, 2025; Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota United midfielder Robin Lod (17) celebrates his goal during the second half against Inter Miami at Allianz Field. Mandatory Credit: Brace Hemmelgarn-Imagn Images Bongokuhle Hlongwane, Anthony Markanich and Robin Lod each scored goals to lead Minnesota United to a 4-1 victory over Inter Miami on Saturday afternoon in St. Paul, Minn.
Minnesota (6-2-4, 22 points) won its second consecutive MLS match and third in a row across all competitions. The Loons handed Inter Miami (6-2-3, 21 points) its most lopsided loss in league play this season. Miami played without forward Luis Suarez, who did not make the trip due to personal reasons, and without left winger Fafa Picault due to illness.
Lionel Messi scored his sixth goal this season in MLS play three minutes into the second half to cut Miami’s deficit at the time to 2-1. Messi struck when he took a feed from Jordi Alba in the box and quickly redirected the ball into the back of the net near the back post.
But disaster struck later in the second half for Inter Miami when Marcelo Weigandt tried to head away a corner kick by Minnesota’s Joaquín Pereyra, but unintentionally tapped the ball into his own goal to push the Loons’ edge to 3-1 in the 68th minute.
Moments later, Minnesota took advantage of the momentum swing on a brilliant play by Tani Oluwaseyi, who beat his defender and delivered a perfect cross to Lod. As he came racing up the middle of the field, Lod fired a shot past Inter Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari to stretch the lead to three in the 70th minute.
Minnesota scored on set pieces twice.
The first came just before halftime on a throw-in from Michael Boxall. The long toss was headed across the front of the goal by Nicolas Romero to the back post. Markanich positioned himself under the ball quickly and headed it past Ustari in the second minute of first-half stoppage time to give Minnesota a 2-0 lead.
Hlongwane scored Minnesota’s first goal in the 32nd minute off assists from Carlos Harvey and Pereyra, who drew three Miami defenders away from the goal and fed the ball to Harvey in space. Harvey then sent the ball forward quickly to Hlongwane, who snuck it past Ustari.

Flavio Prado faz cobrança após Palmeiras x SPFC no Brasileirão: “Imperdoável”
Palmeiras e São Paulo, em jogo do Brasileirão (Cesar Greco/Palmeiras) Flavio Prado não quis poupar críticas após o clássico entre Palmeiras e São Paulo. Insatisfeito com o futebol praticado na Arena Barueri, o comunicador vê o duelo longe do patamar ideal, algo refletido por outro placar magro. Neste cenário, diante dos elencos milionários, houve uma cobrança por jogos mais atrativos e que valorizem o Brasileirão. “Pode ter certeza que o Choque-Rei é um jogo ruim hoje. Pelos últimos 10-12 jogos, todos são ruins e de um nível muito baixo. Eu acho que há um certo comodismo dos jogadores e temos que cobrar porque são elencos caríssimos, mas que fazem espetáculos medíocres.”, disse Flavio Prado, no Canelada, da Jovem Pan.

2025 PGA Championship odds, picks: Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler predictions from top Masters-winning model
Imagn Images Quail Hollow Club in North Carolina will host the 2025 PGA Championship. It annually hosts the Wells Fargo Championship, now known as the Truist Open, so looking at past winners of that event could result in optimal 2025 PGA Championship bets.

Dodger Details: Tony Gonsolin’s new gear, Roki Sasaki’s fastball and more
PHOENIX — Tony Gonsolin has learned he has something in reserve. The Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander’s 84th and final pitch was the second-hardest one he would throw on Sunday, a 95.7 mph fastball. The only one faster (95.9) came an inning earlier in the fourth against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when he tried to blow strike three past outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. The velocity is back.AdvertisementGonsolin has shown an ability post-surgery to keep something back for big spots. Just look at his last start on Tuesday against the Miami Marlins, when he reared back for 96.8 mph with two strikes against Ronny Simon, and 96 mph a pitch later. It was his hardest pitch since 2020. In the first inning of that start, he reared back for 95 to retire Kyle Stowers.That’s a big jump when Gonsolin needs it. For contrast, […]
