Inter Miami suffered another defeat, this time losing 0-1 against Cincinnati in Matchday 33 of the MLS in the United States. The match took place at the DRV PNK stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Despite the return of Lionel Messi, the 'Herons' team failed to recover and adds another defeat, making this season a real challenge. The only goal of the match was scored by Barreal in the 78th minute. With this result, Cincinnati is in first position with 68 points, while Inter Miami is in second-to-last position with 33 points in the Eastern Conference group.
Inter Miami is at a decisive crossroads in its quest to qualify for the MLS playoffs, and the possible return of its star, Lionel Messi, could be the spark they need to keep their hopes alive. The team led by Argentine coach Gerardo 'Tata' Martino will face Cincinnati in a high-voltage match that could determine their fate in the American league.
The absence of Lionel Messi in the last four matches has had a significant impact on Inter Miami's performance. The team has recorded two draws and two defeats in this period, which has led the club to fall to second-to-last position in the MLS. The 1-4 defeat against the Chicago Fire was a hard blow that has left the team five points behind the playoff spots.
The possible return of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami's starting lineup could be the key to changing the team's fortunes. With Messi on the field, the team has been unbeaten and managed to win the Leagues Cup in August, as well as qualify for the US Open Cup final. His presence not only brings quality and leadership, but has also proven to be decisive in the team's performance.
Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, the coach of Inter Miami, recognizes the crucial importance of the match against Cincinnati. After the last defeat against the Chicago Fire, Martino expressed his concerns about his team's chances in the final stretch of the season.
Inter Miami is five points behind the playoff spots, although they have one less match than their direct rivals. In addition to overcoming teams like Montreal and New York City, the team will have to keep an eye on the results of other matches that could influence their position in the table.
