Victor Ulloa remains the Herons’ unheralded leader
Michelle Kauffman, the Miami Herald’s soccer writer, had a nice piece Wednesday on defensive midfielder Victor Ulloa, one of the remaining original Herons. He played in Inter Miami’s first-ever match against Los Angeles FC in 2020 and in its statement 3-1 win against defending champion LAFC on Sunday.
