Date:

He Inter Miami took advantage of the first round tie of the MLS Cup (1-0) against Atlanta United after winning 2-1 on Friday thanks to a goal from Jordi Alba that broke the wall of a Brad Guzan very big

Previously, the locals took the lead in the second minute with a goal from Luis Suarez and Atlanta equalized before going into half-time with two from Georgian Saba Lobjanidze.


Despite Inter’s many chances Lionel Messi ahead, the visitors reached the end of the match with options thanks to their goalkeeper, who took eight chances between the sticks and invited optimism for the second match of this best-of-three series which will be played on Saturday, November 2.

The novelty at the beginning of the win

Far from usual in Inter Miami matches, those in pink this time managed to open the scoring and very early. Luis Suárez scored in 90 seconds and the Heron team had not turned on the lights at home for two months.

Jordi Alba He started, again, playing on the left wing, alongside the Paraguayan Diego Gomezwho gave the ball low Luis Suarez to add his fifth attendance to the course. ‘The gunslinger’ scored his 21st MLS goal of the season.

The attitude was to go for more and Inter continued to strike, mostly on the left wing with Alba who in this team was more winger than lateral. At the back the response was also good to the satisfaction of Gerardo Martino: a committed team where even Messi He contributed to the defense in set-piece actions.

In the 25th minute came another warning from Messi, who crossed the ball at mid-height to Guzanwho established himself as the hero of the day at Atlanta United. The resulting corner went to the head of David Martínez and he crashed the ball into the vertical.

Atlanta had serious problems getting out of their area and Inter went all out. Messi hit the woodwork in the 28th minute, and Weigandt’s rebound was swept back by Guzan. In 30 minutes it was almost a miracle that the score was not a scandal for the locals.

Miami conceded and Atlanta took advantage

Atlanta’s defensive plans had to be changed with two sudden injuries: both Stian Gregersen and Brooks Lennon gave way to Noah Cobb and the Peruvian Luis Abram, respectively.

Despite this, the visitors’ chances were scattered and it was in the 39th minute that Georgian Saba Lobjanidze took advantage. Half of the goals came from Portuguese Pedro Amador who had a great pass with the outside of his left foot, leaving his teammate to finish.

Lobjanidze has the measure of Inter as it was his fourth goal of the year against this rival. He previously converted two at Mercedes Benz Stadium and another in the last visit to Chase Stadium.

Inter went to the locker room with fear in their bodies as there would be one more for a United team gaining confidence: the Senegalese Jamal Thiaré had a one-on-one match against Drake Callender who he didn’t finish.

Alba unblocks the offensive

Apart from the unquestionable quality of Inter’s players, there is one who stands out above the rest for his physical waste in every match: Jordi Alba. The full-back did his thing again in a corner, as Messi knew how to find him time and space on the edge of the area.

He sets it up and hits it without thinking, setting it up just out of reach of the upright for Guzan’s length. It was the fifth goal this season in MLS for the Spaniard and it boded well for the home team’s dominance as the match continued, with Atlanta barely crossing the line.

It was also 20 for Messi with a gift from Gómez, who left it to him as he wanted, but he found himself in Guzan’s wall again. The goalkeeper took almost everything, except for the goals, because most of Miami’s shots were between the sticks (there were 11 in total).

With Atlanta alive until the final whistle, the Chase Center gave thanks at the end of the match as they saw their team score a third but a tie was always a possibility.
