After several games without a win, Inter Miami found redemption at home with a dominant performance against the New York Red Bulls. With a 4-1 win at Chase Stadium, and with Patrick Mahomes watching from the sidelines, the team left a good impression on this tenth day of the season, regaining confidence after the recent setback against Vancouver, which left them with all eyes on the MLS, Leagues Cup and Club World Cup.
The Florida team opened the scoring in the eighth minute after a mistake by Wikelman Carmona led to a quick counterattack that ended with Fafa Picault reaching the far post and slotting the ball into the net after a great assist from Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez.

In the 20th minute, Marcelo Weigandt sealed the 2-0 victory with a goal full of meaning. After a precise cross from Picault saw his initial shot saved by the goalkeeper, the defender latched onto the rebound and finished with authority. It was a moment of pure passion and commitment that ignited the fans.
Towards the end of the first half, the home side consolidated their dominance. Lionel Messi, with his trademark vision, drove the ball forward and played a precise pass to Allende, who found Luis Suarez perfectly. The Uruguayan finished with authority to make it 3-0 and end a nine-game goal drought.
New York Red Bulls did not go down without a fight and responded before the end of the first half, Eric Choupo-Moting scoring the first goal for the visitors to give them hope, but it would not last long.
