Inter Miami faced Philadelphia Union in a match full of twists and turns. In a game that looked set to be a disaster, the Miami boys not only withstood the pressure but also emerged with a 2-1 victory, despite being reduced to nine men in the second half.

The match began with the hosts opening the scoring just three minutes in, putting Miami on the defensive from the outset. But the real drama came in the second half, when Jordi Alba found Benjamin Cremaschi on the left wing, who then set up Julian Gressel for the equalizing goal in the 47th minute.

Then came the double blow: two red cards at critical moments, in the 69th and 84th minutes, left Inter Miami with nine men on the field. Without Ruiz and Aviles.

In the dying moments of the game, in the 90+4th minute, substitute Leo Afonso made the decisive moment. Yannick Bright regained possession and launched Afonso, who dribbled past a defender and finished masterfully to secure the valuable three points.

The triumph extended Miami's impressive unbeaten streak to six away games, solidifying their position at the top of the Supporters' Shield table.
