Messi also had another chance in the 76th minute, but Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frey made a brilliant save.
Obed Vargas’s Goal and Seattle’s Response
Seattle’s Obed Vargas opened Seattle’s scoring in the 69th minute on Mexican Independence Day. It was a brilliant shot, but Seattle couldn’t cut into Miami’s lead any further.
Statement by Miami Coach Javier Mascherano
After the match, Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano said the win would help ease the pain of their Leagues Cup final loss. He said, “We worked very hard in the last match, but we learned a lot from the bad result. Today’s win is important because we managed to win against a strong opponent who defeated us in the competition a few weeks ago.”
He also said that it was important for the team to maintain their momentum and stay on the winning track in the upcoming matches. “We still have seven matches left, and we have to win every match and reach the top of our conference.”
Players and Strategy
However, Luis Suarez was again absent from Inter Miami’s squad. Suarez was banned for three matches for spitting on a member of Seattle’s coaching staff during the Leagues Cup final. Despite this, the team performed well and made a strong comeback under Messi’s leadership.
Mascherano also said that they are carefully considering the players’ fitness and strategic decisions. “Some of our players are suspended, some are injured, and we’re trying to ensure that everyone who takes the field is fully prepared.”
Preparing for Upcoming Matches
Now, Inter Miami’s focus is on their upcoming matches. They are scheduled to play against D.C. United on Saturday, and Seattle will face Austin FC on Sunday.
This match proved the profound impact Lionel Messi has had on Inter Miami. His goalscoring ability and ability to guide the team in the right direction helped Miami regain its lost momentum. By defeating the Seattle Sounders, Miami demonstrated its commitment to firmly maintaining its position in the league.
Now, it will be important for the teams to build on this success and perform well in their next matches.
