Following a positive start to the game, the Herons broke the deadlock in the 27th minute via Lionel Messi's finish. The Argentine ace then brilliantly found the bottom-right corner from outside the box 11 minutes later to double their advantage. Inter Miami's sloppiness in the second half resulted in Carles Gil scoring in the 80th minute, but the visitors defended well to secure all three points.

Luis Suarez started alongside Lionel Messi up front, playing 87 minutes. However, the 38-year-old landed zero shots on target from three attempts, completed none of his two attempted dribbles, lost three duels, and lost possession 12 times. He struggled with his mobility as well before being replaced by David Martinez.
