Roberto Molina, who was traded to Miami from Indy Eleven earlier this season, scored his first goal for Miami FC and first of the season last Saturday.
Miami will be looking to secure three important points on the road before returning home next weekend to face Oakland Roots SC. Tickets for this match are available at miamifc.com/tickets.
