Inter Miami returned to victory
In the first half, Inter Miami sought to establish its game from defense but faced difficulties in the accuracy of its passes, which allowed Kansas to take the lead on the scoreboard with a goal from Thommy. Despite this, Inter Miami maintained its style of play and managed to equalize the score thanks to a brilliant pass from Messi that enabled Gómez to score. In the second half, Inter Miami adopted a more direct approach, seeking to penetrate the rival defense. It was Messi who, with a great goal, put his team ahead 2-1. However, Thommy managed to tie the match again with his second goal. Inter Miami continued to press high and this strategy paid off when Gómez recovered a ball and assisted Suárez to put his team back in the lead. From then on, Inter Miami tried to control the pace of the game by maintaining possession in the midfield. However, towards the end of the match, Kansas intensified its attack, putting pressure on Inter Miami in its own half.
