More Major League Soccer action continued on Saturday, with plenty of games across the United States and Canada.
Here are some of the biggest results.
Inter Miami with nine players surprises Union
Chasers: Uhra 3′; Gressel 47′, Afonso 90+4′. Red: Ruiz 68′, Avilés 84′
It was a tough night away from home for Inter Miami, but they managed a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Union against all odds.
With Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez absent on mission at the Copa América, Tata Martino’s team had to rely on other talents on Saturday.
However – the Union stunned Miami in the blink of an eye when Mikael Uhre split two defenders and rolled into the far corner.
The visitors eventually equalized when Julian Gressel scored his first volley for the club after the break. But immediately after, the drama began.
David Ruiz was sent off with a second yellow and with 20 minutes remaining, suggesting a comeback was out of the question.
Things got worse when Miami went down to nine men, as Tomas Aviles also picked up a second yellow card.
That was until Leo Afonso, very calm, scored alone in the 94th minute and kept the three points.
Atlanta makes Houston pay for mistakes
Chasers: Rios 25′, Silva 55′; Escobar 5′, Bênção 89′
Atalanta United and Houston Dynamo shared the points in a 2-2 draw.
The visitors took the lead when Franco Escobar headed home after the ball hit the post on his way back to Atlanta.
However, two mistakes from Houston helped the hosts turn things around.
Micael marked Daniel Rios and had the situation under control until he tried to hit the Atlanta star. Instead, he gifted him the ball and Rios finished off a smart team move for 1-1.
Griffin Dorsey missed a clearance in the second half, allowing Xande Silva to shoot into the right corner from a tight angle.
However, late drama ensued when Latif Blessing hit a ball over his chest and slotted home to ensure the points were shared.

The Chicago Fire made BMO Field their home turf after a 4-1 victory over struggling Toronto FC.
The visitors scored four of their eight shots on target, ensuring that the hosts have not won in four.
The first goal arrived when Maren Haile-Selassie, unmarked, headed in from close range.
TFC equalized when Lorenzo Insigne cut inside and sent the ball over the line, but it wasn’t enough to inspire the hosts.
Chicago came out in the second half ready to close out the game.
