The 2-4 scoreline then remained unchanged through the final whistle for Inter Miami to pick up an important three points on the road against its rivals.
“The win belongs entirely to the players. The second half was the performance of a championship team. There was heart, courage, fighting for every ball, resilience, and commitment. I think the team showed why they were champions last year. In the end, it was the players who proved it,” said head coach Javier Mascherano.
Next, Inter Miami will visit D.C. United next Saturday, March 7 at 4:30 ET at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland.
