Goalkeeper Ríos Novo had a key intervention in the 29th minute, with a vital save to deny an attempt from D.C.’s Hosei Kijima from the left end of the box.
Inter Miami pushed for the equalizer, but wasn’t able to find the finishing touch in the final third and the match went into the half with the 1-0 lead for D.C.
The second half saw the visitors make three changes early on in hopes of spurring a comeback, with Sergio Busquets, Rodrigo De Paul and Rodríguez coming on in place of Luján, Ruiz and Segovia respectively.
The modifications paid off, with Inter Miami generating more danger in the following minutes.
