Charlotte drew 2-2 against Inter Miami, who were still without Lionel Messi, on Wednesday.
This result allows CF Montreal to remain in eighth place giving access to the playoffs in the Eastern Association with a harvest of 41 points. DC United follows thanks to the break despite a quadruple tie at 40 points with Charlotte, the New York Red Bulls and the Chicago Fire.
Aside from DC which has already concluded its schedule, the other four teams have only one game left to play in the regular season.
The CFM will try to confirm its place on Saturday against the Columbus Crew and its former head coach, Wilfried Nancy.
Miami could have helped Montreal’s cause with a victory, but Enzo Copetti had other plans by opening the scoring in the 45th minute. Then Nicolas Stefanelli created the tie in stoppage time (45+6).
Kerwin Vargas restored the lead to Charlotte upon his return from the locker room, but Miami did not give up thanks to Robbie Robinson, who at the very least deprived the opponent of the three points.
In the Florida clan, Messi said he wanted to play in his team’s final game of the season on Saturday after cheering them on from the sidelines.
Inter Miami was already knocked out of the playoff race earlier this month. Head coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said there was “a chance” Messi could play this weekend, and that the team would evaluate his star player’s physical condition during his back home.
