In a thrilling Champions Cup encounter, Tadeo Allende emerged as the star, leading Inter Miami to a 2-0 victory over Cavalier SC at Chase Stadium. This match took place without Lionel Messi, who is sidelined by load management.

With a standout performance, Allende’s goal, set up by Sergio Busquets after a pivotal save from Cavalier keeper Vino Barclette, marked his third consecutive match with a score after joining on loan from Celta Vigo.

Luis Suarez contributed with an additional goal in the 82nd minute, ensuring Inter Miami maintained a solid start to the season despite earlier struggles. This victory was vital for coaching strategies amid player adjustments following injuries.

Looking ahead, the second leg of this tie will be held at a larger venue in Kingston, Jamaica, reflecting Messi’s potential presence as the stakes grow in the ongoing tournament.
