Confronting Toronto in the 32nd round of the 2024 Leagues Cup took place on the morning of August 9 (Vietnamese time), Inter Miami continued without the service of superstar Lionel Messi due to the injury he suffered at the 2024 Copa America final with the Argentine national team.
However, with the shining performance of the remaining star in the team such as Busquets, Luis Suarez, and Jordi Alba, Inter Miami dominated the game from the start. Just 20 minutes into the game, Inter Miami scored three goals. Notably, Jordi Alba was the one who created all three goals.
While having the advantage, Inter Miami suffered a disadvantage in terms of personnel when David Martinez received a red card and left the field in the 27th minute.
On the other side of the battlefield, Toronto, despite not creating many scoring opportunities, still managed to score two goals to narrow the gap to 2-3 by successfully converting two penalty kicks.
To maintain the result, Inter Miami deliberately slowed down the pace of the game in the second half. Despite this, Inter Miami still looked sharper with the fourth goal in the 59th minute, Jordi Alba again creating the opportunity for Rojas to complete his double.
In the remaining time, Toronto, despite their best efforts, could only score one more goal, ultimately accepting a 3-4 defeat.
In the 16th round of the 2024 Leagues Cup, which took place on August 12, Inter Miami will face the winner of the Columbus Crew and Sporting Kansas City match.
