Monday's soccer action took place in the United Soccer League as the morning sun dawned. The International Miami team, without "King" Mays due to injury, lost their first game of the season at home against Montreal by a score of 2-3.
It was reported that Mez was injured in the last match of the Chinese Champions League, and coach Martino decided to rest him, while Suarez and Busquets were temporarily on the bench. Mez entered the game in casual attire to cheer on his teammates. Nonetheless, Inter Myamy's substitutes pulled one back in the second half with Zodi Abba, but the gap was too big to overcome and the match ended in a 2-3 defeat.
In just nine days, the International Miami will be tested in four matches. For the first time since the pre-season warm-up in Hong Kong, Mays has not played with the team. According to the US media, Mays' injury is not serious, and the break is mainly to prepare for Thursday's (14th) Chinese Champions League showdown with Schuylerville.
