Inter Miami’s highly anticipated season opener didn’t disappoint, ending in a dramatic 2-2 draw against New York City FC.
Javier Mascherano’s side, who dominated last season before crashing out in the first round of the playoffs, had to battle adversity after Argentine defender Tomás Avilés saw red, leaving Miami with 10 men for most of the match.
Despite the setback, Lionel Messi once again proved why he’s the heart of the team, delivering two crucial assists—including the last-gasp equaliser deep into stoppage time.
With a crucial CONCACAF Champions Cup clash against Sporting KC on the horizon, Miami will be hoping their talisman has more tricks under his sleeve.
