Inter Miami’s 1-0 win over CF Montreal on Saturday will be remembered for a long time, but not just because of the three points they earned. The match took a dramatic turn when forward Germán Berterame was fouled and knocked unconscious in a collision, prompting immediate medical attention from Inter Miami’s medical team. Berterame was taken away in an ambulance, leaving his teammates and the crowd in a state of concern.
The incident led to a penalty being awarded, which Luis Suárez calmly converted in the 81st minute to give Inter Miami the lead. Suárez sent a soft shot past Sébastian Breza for his ninth goal of the season and his sixth in the last three matches, securing Inter Miami’s sixth straight victory. Rocco Ríos Novo saved two shots for Inter Miami in his third start and second clean sheet this season.
Fortunately, the news on Berterame’s condition is positive, with the player being discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment. Inter Miami’s head coach, Guillermo Hoyos, gave an update on Berterame’s health, stating that “Berterame is conscious and doing well. The blow was very hard, but he is recovering.” Berterame sustained injuries to his left shoulder and nose as a result of the hard blow he suffered during the match.
The win will be a welcome boost for Inter Miami as they look to push on in the league. The team’s focus will now be on supporting Berterame as he recovers from his injury. It’s a testament to the strength of the team’s spirit that they were able to secure the win despite the worrying incident, and they’ll be hoping to build on this momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
