Inter Miami’s hopes of securing a first victory at their new Nu Stadium were frustrated once more on Saturday after Red Bull New York came from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw.<\/p>\n
A week after Lionel Messi and Miami were held to the same score by Austin FC in their opening game at their new home, New York’s youthful line-up became the latest side to get a result at the same venue.<\/p>\n
New York quieted the home crowd after just 15 minutes, when superb work from 18-year-old striker Julian Hall down the right stretched the Miami defence.<\/p>\n
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
But Miami drew level on the stroke of half-time when Argentine forward Matero Silvetti finished from close range from Rodrigo De Paul’s cross.<\/p>\n
Miami looked to be taking control after half time, and defender Maxi Falcon should have made it 2-1 but sent a free header wide of the post from De Paul’s corner.<\/p>\n
Messi and Silvetti both had chances go begging before Miami took the lead on 55 minutes through Argentine-born Mexico international forward German Berterame.<\/p>\n
Berterame collected a pass which deflected off New York’s 17-year-old midfielder Adri Mehmeti and shot low to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n
New York thought they had equalized midway through the half\u00a0when Robert Voloder\u00a0bundled in a low finish only for the goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR review.<\/p>\n
The New York equalizer 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
Miami pressed furiously in the closing stages, and only a sensational diving save by Ethan Horvath prevented Messi from snatching a winner with a free kick in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
The draw leaves Miami in third place in the Eastern Conference standings, four points behind leaders Nashville, 2-1 winners over Charlotte on Saturday.<\/p>\n
