Surridge, 28, spent much of the match on the floor after heavy challenges from Miami centerbacks Gonzalo Luján and Maxi Falcón. The striker got his 12th goal of the MLS regular season in the second half, flicking a cross from Cristian Espinoza past Rocco Ríos-Novo. In all competitions, Surridge has logged 14 goals in just over 1,500 minutes.
