A week after making its debut at Nu Stadium, Inter Miami is hoping to pick up its first win at its new home Saturday night.
Through a half, it’s a 1-1 stalemate between Inter Miami and Red Bull New York.
Mateo Silvetti found the mark just before halftime after Miami fell behind thanks to Red Bulls’ Jorge Ruvalcaba scoring in the 15th minute off an assist from Julian Hall.
Although Inter Miami outplayed the Red Bulls in the first half, outshooting them 9-3 overall and 4-1 in shots on target, it trailed until the lone minute of first-half stoppage time. Rodrigo De Paul lifted a long cross past several defenders to Silvetti, who timed a perfect shot with his right foot past Red Bulls keeper Ethan Horvath.
It was Silvetti’s second goal of the season, and he becomes the first Inter Miami player not named Lionel Messi with multiple goals scored this season.
Cade Cowell found Hall in space downfield, allowing Hall to draw a pair of Miami defenders – Maxi Falcon and Micael dos Santos – to him on the left side of goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair. He then delivered a cross to Ruvalcaba, who then fired a shot past St. Clair before Falcon could recover to put the Red Bulls ahead 1-0.
Inter Miami had a solid chance moments before when Lionel Messi dribbled into the box and fired a cross that German Berterame missed in front of the goal.
Berterame, the former Monterrey star and Inter Miami’s big offseason acquisition, was in the starting lineup after coming off the bench in the club’s past two league matches.
He has yet to score a goal in an Inter Miami uniform.
Berterame started at the top with Messi with Miami playing without one of its top wingers in Tadeo Allende, who was not at training this week with an unspecified injury.
Inter Miami has struggled to find consistent scoring so far this season beyond Messi, who leads the team with five goals, but has yet to record an assist.
Although Inter Miami sits in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings and only two points behind conference leader Nashville, it enters Saturday’s contest with only a plus-1 goal differential after finishing with a conference-best plus-26 last season.
Silvetti started alongside Telasco Segovia, De Paul and Yannick Bright in the midfield.
Silvetti appeared to draw a foul inside the box in the game’s opening moments. But the referee did not blow the whistle and play continued.
Sergio Reguilon returned to Miami’s starting lineup at left back after missing last week’s game against Austin with an injury.
Falcon, Ian Fray and Dos Santos comprised Miami’s back row.
Luis Suarez, who scored the tying goal in the second half last week, is available off the bench.
Inter Miami has won three consecutive meetings against the Red Bulls including a 5-1 win at New York last July. But while the team is unbeaten in its past seven matches overall, four of them have ended in draws.
