On Saturday, Inter Miami faced New York City FC at Yankee Stadium, where they were held to a 1-1 draw due to a last-minute equalizer. Miami, aiming for a record-breaking season, initially took the lead in the 75th minute when Lionel Messi assisted Leonardo Campana's goal. Despite Miami's strong performance, New York had several opportunities to score earlier in the match, including a free-kick that hit the post and a missed chance by Keaton Parks. The late equalizer came from New York's James Sands, who scored with a header from a corner kick in stoppage time, denying Miami a crucial victory. This result impacted Miami's pursuit of New England's single-season points record, as they now need to secure nine points from their remaining four matches to equal the record or ten to surpass it. The draw reflects Miami's ongoing challenges despite their strong position in the Eastern Conference, as they have already secured a playoff spot but must improve their finishing to achieve their season goals.
