Inter Miami and Toronto FC were the main protagonists of perhaps the most entertaining match we’ve had thus far in the 2024 Leagues Cup, with the MLS teams scoring a combined seven goals in 90 minutes.

The Herons, who played with 10 men for almost 70 minutes, were able to secure the win at home to advance to the next round.

Charlotte FC acquired U.S. men's national team defender Tim Ream from Premier League side Fulham FC.

The deal, announced Wednesday, runs through 2026 with an option for 2027. Terms were not disclosed.
