Inter Miami vs Charlotte: Live blog
Chance! Inter Miami
Brilliant play from Farias, who runs in behind the Charlotte backline. He looks up and threads the ball into the on-rushing Sergio Gomez in the middle of the box, but the young midfielder's effort goes wide of the post.
A real let-off for the visitors there.
Inter Miami enjoy a nice spell of possession, with some good rotations from their new-look midfield. Charlotte are continuing to press intensely.
It's a waste of a good opportunity as Westwood curls the ball harmlessly over the crossbar.
Sergio Busquets
The Inter Miami midfielder is booked for a dangerous high boot on the edge of the box. Charlotte win a free kick in a very dangerous position, left of centre.
Ashley Westwood to take...
The noise in DRV PNK Stadium has ramped up again with the decision to rescind that penalty. Can Miami get on top now?
NO PENALTY
After consulting the screen the referee has reversed his decision! No penalty, the game will restart with Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender.
The decision is being checked by VAR! It was difficult to see if the ball made contact with chest or arm.
The referee's going over the the pitch-side screen...
Penalty to Charlotte!
Spot kick awarded for a handball by Kamal Miller. The Miami defender was sliding to block a cross and is adjudged to have made contact with his arm.
There's a real battle emerging between Yedlin and Vargas, which the Inter Miami right back has had the best of in the opening stages. Nevertheless, he'll have to be at his best to keep Vargas quiet.
Decent opening for Charlotte as Westwood finds Jozwiak with a raking diagonal pass. His first touch takes him past Allen but Miami get players back to smother the danger.
Brilliant noise in DRV PNK Stadium, where Lionel Messi is in attendance! The 36-year-old returned from last night's exploits with Argentina to watch the team's final home Game of the season.
Nearly a catastrophe at the back for Charlotte, who are put under pressure by the Miami frontline. Ashley Westwood does well to bring the ball out of defence and get his team on the offensive.
Both teams looking to play out from the back.
Charlotte, too, are working hard out of possession and are looking to win the ball back high up the pitch. But with Sergio Busquets in the Miami midfield they risk being picked apart by the Spaniard.
It will be interesting to see if Charlotte can isolate Busquets with Jordi Alba or Messi in the team.
Good work from Leo Campana to close down the Charlotte defence and win the ball back for his team. Miami will be delighted to have his presence back up front.
And we're off!
Inter Miami get us underway in their final home fixture of the season.
