After the crash from the Concacaf Champions Cup MidweekInter Miami was able to break out of their mini-fun while he sent the New York Red Bulls 4-1. The herons would take 3-1 lead thanks to Fafa Picault and Luis Suarez who find the back of the net. For Suarez this ends a scoreless point of nine games for him, which will be very important to move forward for the herons. Prior to the competition, manager Javier Mascherano stated that this team should be more than Lionel Messi, and he got that immediately, but that did not mean that the Argentinian would not let his presence feel so good.

In the second half, Messi and Telasco Segovia went together for the fourth goal of Miami of the match, and although it contained a bad defense of the Red Bulls, who cannot remove the interplay between the duo. Segovia got the ball just outside the box and immediately played it back to Messi. The Argentinian moved skillfully a bit and played it back to Segovia while he continued his run in the box. This is where the concept between the two comes into play while Segovia returned to Messi for the first time, and there was nothing that Carlos Coronel could do to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Messi will make many defenses look, but this is a good example of how Miami wants to play. With freedom and pace of the attack. They could not do that against Vancouver or the Columbus crew, and although the Red Bulls are currently not at the level of those teams, it is still important to get back on the right way on Saturday. Now the goal will be to repeat this kind of performance when they are confronted with Minnesota United, one of the best teams in the Western Conference, on 10 May.
