Inter Miami has now won just one of their last nine games, a stark contrast to their six consecutive wins in July that had them on course for the top of the Eastern Conference. The club's recent slump has seen them fall behind New England Revolution and Vancouver Whitecaps in the Supporters Shield standings. Despite goals from Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez, Inter Miami were unable to secure all three points against San Diego FC. The draw leaves Inter Miami with a significant gap to Nashville, the current leaders of the Eastern Conference, with the deficit now standing at eleven points.
