David Beckham's Inter Miami scored their first MLS goal, but it could not stop them slipping to a 2-1 defeat at DC United.

Rodolfo Pizarro opened the scoring for Inter Miami inside two minutes and they thought they had added a second, but the goal was ruled out by VAR due to a handball by Roman Torres in the build-up.

They suffered a further blow moments later when Torres was then sent off, meaning Inter Miami had to play the remaining 36 minutes with 10 men.

Things went from bad to worse when Inter Miami when Yamil Asad equalised from the penalty spot after Edison Flores had been brought down in the box.
