Tampa Bay Rowdies 1–2 Miami FC

A. Rocha needed just five minutes to get Miami FC moving, and by the time Tampa Bay Rowdies found their footing through C. Ostrem's 54th-minute leveler, R. Da Costa had the answer ready, restoring Miami's lead six minutes later and sealing a 2-1 win in USL Championship play. The result reads as a statement for a Miami side that arrives in red-hot form, their winning run now extending to three straight, while Tampa Bay, despite sitting atop the table, have managed only two wins across their last five and look increasingly shaky at home. Rocha's opener was his fifth of the campaign, enough to rank him fourth in the league's scoring charts behind leader P. Goodrum, and it's exactly the kind of sharp, early finish that's become his trademark this season. Tampa Bay's response through Ostrem showed character, but Da Costa's reply punished any hesitation. Rewind to that fifth-minute strike and watch how quickly Rocha turns a half-chance into a lead, then see Da Costa settle the night with the goal that mattered most.
