Inter Miami goalkeeper scores brutal own goal after mistimed kick
Inter Miami appears to have been working out some post-World Cup kinks during its Wednesday night match against the Chicago Fire.
Goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo scored one of the ugliest own goals you'll ever see for the first score of the game. Defender Ian Fray sent the ball back to Novo in a normally routine play, yet Novo completely mistimed his kick and allowed the ball to softly hit the back of the net. To make matters worse, Novo was calling for the ball before his error.

You can only see this one to believe it.
Inter Miami would rally for a 3-2 win despite the absence of Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul, who are taking a break following their World Cup final run with Argentina. Messi and De Paul are also expected to miss Sunday's match against CF Montréal and the MLS All-Star Game, according to ESPN .
It was a crucial game for Inter Miami as Chicago is just behind the squad at third in the Eastern Conference. Nashville SC has a five-point lead over Inter Miami for first in the East.
Is Casemiro going to Inter Miami?
Yes, the Brazilian star signed with the team hours before the Chicago game.
