Inter Miami’s Dominance

Buoyed by Messi’s masterclass, Inter Miami seized control of the match, imposing their attacking prowess on New England. With relentless pressure and fluid build-up, Miami dictated the game’s tempo, leaving their opponents struggling to contain their onslaught. Benjamin Cremaschi further extended Miami’s lead with a clinical finish in the 83rd minute, showcasing the team’s depth and versatility in attack. The introduction of Luis Suárez in the second half only added to New England’s woes, as the Uruguayan striker made an immediate impact, finding the back of the net in the 88th minute to seal Miami’s emphatic victory.
