Scary situation in the CF Montreal - Inter Miami game as Miami was awarded a penalty in the 70th minute, but Germán Berterame went down hard and an ambulance had to be called in.

@cjzero.bsky.social can we get the video of the Berterame injury in the MLS @cfmtl.bsky.social @intermiamicf.bsky.social game? Looked scary

Anyone have an update or video from @cfmtl.bsky.social v @intermiamicf.bsky.social on Berterame?! Looked scary!
