All of the game’s goals came in a frantic first half at Inter Miami Stadium. Romanian striker Alexandru Mitrita opened the scoring for New York City in the 4th minute by finishing only a long service in the area from the right, after the defense failed to make the offside.
In the 27th minute came Inter’s 1-1, with a center of French international Blaise Matuidi from the left to Victor Ulloa who, instead of shooting, assisted for the arrival to the right of the Scot Lewis Morgan, who shot the archer. Swedish side Anton Tinnerholm finished 2-1 for New York City with an out-of-area trallazo in the 35th minute, but again Morgan tied in 38 with another spectacular shot from the front after a transfer of Higuain.Mitrita put the final 3-2 in another fulminant counterattack in the 43rd minute. Higuain, who played again in the 90th minute, had his best chance in the 51st minute at a headbutt in the small area that he could not ambush at the door. Four minutes from regular time, the former Juventus forward made great control within the area and his shot was topped to death by Julián Carranza, but the target was overturned after var review. With this result, Inter added his third consecutive loss and remains in the penultimate position of the East Conference with 11 points, to 6 of the positions that give access to the playoffs.
