Inter Miami CF’s Victory Over Montreal
Inter Miami CF head coach Javier Mascherano praised his team’s unity after a 4-2 win over Montreal at Chase Stadium. The victory was notable despite the team suffering three injuries in the first half:
- Gonzalo Luján and Jordi Alba both left the pitch due to muscular injuries.
- Tomús Avilés suffered an ankle injury after a collision and had to leave at halftime with swelling.
Despite these setbacks, Inter Miami managed to secure four goals against Montreal, showcasing their resilience even with several key players unavailable due to injuries. Mascherano expressed concern about the team’s depth and stated, "I have informed management which positions require reinforcements ahead of next month’s Club World Cup."
This win serves as a significant boost for Inter Miami as they prepare for upcoming matches, including the Club World Cup next month.
