Inter Miami He was so superior in the first 45 minutes that with the 2-0 lead at that stage it was already clear to him that Nashville was not going to hurt him. But, in addition, the early departure of Lionel Messi (Taylor replaced him 4 minutes into the second half) also dampened the effervescence of the fans who only go to see him. A pass from the Rosario star to Suárez ended in 1-0, Leo himself scored the second, and later Taylor increased the difference. On the hour, Surridge rewarded his insistence by discounting. There is not much more to tell about a discreet match, where the presence of two stars like Messi and Suárez were enough to tip the balance, in a key that ends 5 to 3 on aggregate in favor of the team led by Gerardo Martino. Already in the quarterfinals, Inter Miami will face whoever advances from the crossing between Monterrey and Cincinnati. In the first leg, the Mexican team won 1-0 and they will get revenge this Thursday, on American soil.
