Inter Miami Seeks Goals Beyond Messi in Home Opener
12 Apr
Summary
- Inter Miami seeks offensive help beyond Lionel Messi.
- The team has struggled to score from players other than Messi.
- New York Red Bulls took an early 1-0 lead in the match.
Inter Miami is aiming for their first victory at their new stadium, but currently trails the New York Red Bulls 1-0 in their inaugural match. Lionel Messi, despite scoring five goals in five MLS games, has not provided any assists, and no other Inter Miami player has scored more than one goal this season.
The team's coach, Javier Mascherano, acknowledges the need for increased scoring contribution from the rest of the squad. He expressed confidence in the team's ability to generate scoring opportunities, noting that while individual players may have different scoring rhythms, the overall chance creation remains strong.
Germán Berterame, a Mexican striker, is expected to see action as Tadeo Allende is sidelined with a hamstring injury. The Red Bulls took the lead in the 15th minute with a goal from Jorge Ruvalcaba, assisted by Julian Hall. Earlier in the match, both Messi and Berterame missed clear scoring chances for Inter Miami.
