rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">to get a result at the same venue<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>New York quieted the home crowd after just 15 minutes, when superb work from 18-year-old striker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashscore.com\/player\/hall-julian\/lCyxppgD\/\" data-analytics-element=\"ARTICLE_TEXT_LINK\" data-analytics-alias=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Julian Hall<\/a> down the right stretched the Miami defence.<\/p>\n<p>Hall dragged away two defenders before squaring for an unmarked Jorge Ruvalcalba, who swept a low finish beneath Miami goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair.<\/p>\n<p>But Miami drew level on the stroke of half-time when Argentine forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashscore.com\/player\/silvetti-mateo\/fii0gkZk\/\" data-analytics-element=\"ARTICLE_TEXT_LINK\" data-analytics-alias=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matero Silvetti<\/a> finished from close range from <a

target=\"_blank\">Rodrigo De Paul<\/a>&#8216;s cross.<\/p>\n<p>Miami looked to be taking control after half-time, and defender <a

target=\"_blank\">Maxi Falcon<\/a> should have made it 2-1 but sent a free header wide of the post from De Paul&#8217;s corner.<\/p>\n<p>Messi and Silvetti both had chances go begging before Miami took the lead on 55 minutes through Argentine-born Mexico international forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashscore.com\/player\/berterame-german\/OEEHSm7D\/\" data-analytics-element=\"ARTICLE_TEXT_LINK\" data-analytics-alias=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">German Berterame<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Berterame collected a pass which deflected off New York&#8217;s 17-year-old midfielder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashscore.com\/player\/mehmeti-adri\/ULVK0HCA\/\" data-analytics-element=\"ARTICLE_TEXT_LINK\" data-analytics-alias=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adri Mehmeti<\/a> and shot low to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>New York thought they had equalised midway through the half when <a

target=\"_blank\">Robert Voloder<\/a> bundled in a low finish, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR review.<\/p>\n<p>The New York equaliser finally arrived in the 77th minute, when a twisting, turning run inside the area from Hall tormented the Miami defence before he squared to fellow teenager Mehmeti, who slid to finish for 2-2.<\/p>\n<p>Miami pressed furiously in the closing stages, and only a sensational diving save by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flashscore.com\/player\/horvath-ethan\/h4NCaPbb\/\" data-analytics-element=\"ARTICLE_TEXT_LINK\" data-analytics-alias=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ethan Horvath<\/a> prevented Messi from snatching a winner with a free kick in stoppage time.<\/p>\n<p><img
