Sargent, Etienne Jr. Spark Toronto to 2-1 Win over Inter Miami

On Saturday, Inter Miami fell 2-1 to Toronto at Nu Stadium, extending the Herons' winless streak to five matches despite Lionel Messi scoring for the hosts.
United States striker Josh Sargent and Derrick Etienne scored in the 59th and 62nd minutes to give Toronto a commanding two-goal lead, marking the visitors' fifth win in 21 Major League Soccer games this season.
Messi pulled one back in the 82nd minute after RDP provided a perfectly weighted through ball, bringing his season tally to 14 goals. "Not gonna sit here and act like it's perfect," Sargent told Apple regarding Toronto's performance.
The Herons have conceded 2.4 goals per game during their five-game winless slump, putting their top-four playoff seeding at risk despite remaining second in the MLS Eastern Conference.
Miami hosts Montreal on August 29 to regroup, while Chicago Fire moved within three points of the Herons in the standings after drawing 1-1 with the New York Red Bulls, intensifying the Eastern Conference race.
