Inter Miami 2–0 New York City FC

Rodrigo De Paul put the finishing touch on another one-sided night at the end of a long first half, heading home in the fifth minute of stoppage time after Germán Berterame had already broken the deadlock on 20 minutes, and Inter Miami cruised past New York City FC 2-0. The win stretches a flawless personal record: Miami have now beaten NYCFC in all three of their recent head-to-head meetings, and this latest result does nothing to change that pattern. The two sides are headed in different directions in the Major League Soccer table, too. Miami sit second with 49 points, while NYCFC are mired in tenth on 33, and across their last five games Miami have found one win to NYCFC's one as well, though the manner of this result suggests Miami's floor is far higher right now. Berterame's opener set the tone, De Paul's stoppage-time header buried any hope of a response, and NYCFC never found an answer in between. Watch Berterame's breakthrough and De Paul's first-half dagger, scored in the fifth minute of injury time, to see exactly how Miami shut the door before the break.
