Messi and Berterame couldn't break Inter Miami's spell: 1-1 with New England
New England Revolution gave Inter Miami's Herons indigestion, as they continue to struggle in their new home
It seems that Inter Miami CF will need more than the magic of Lionel Messi and the goals of Mexican German Berterame to break the spell on the Herons' home, who have now gone three games without a win Winning at Nu Stadium before 26,609 spectators on Matchday 10 of the MLS. The reason? The way the visitors, the New England Revolution, approached the match. They never gave up on any ball and defended relentlessly to neutralize Messi, while also trying to create danger in front of the Florida team's goal. The difficulties were so evident that Berterame was able to score the equalizer in the 75th minute, twenty minutes after Carles Gil had put the home team on the back foot. Even with good ball control and a 68 percent pace, they were unable to find the winning goal. Inter Miami had more shots on goal than the Revolution, with 18 to 16, and three more near the goal, but even so, they didn't feel comfortable against an opponent that was tenacious. Despite the draw, the point was enough for Inter. (5-4-1) to remain in second place in the Eastern Conference with 19 points, behind Nashville and with one game in hand. New England (5-0-3) is in third with 15.
It seemed that Argentine coach Guillermo Hoyos is having trouble managing success in the locker room, making two changes to the starting lineup from the previous match, forced by Jannick Bright's suspension and David Ayala's injury.
He brought in David Ruiz for Bright and Luis Suarez for Ayala to form an attacking trio with Berterame and Messi, but without the necessary options to beat US national team goalkeeper Matt Turner.
Inter Miami CF started with the following eleven: Dayne St. Clair; Facundo Mura, Gonzalo Lujan, Maxi Falcon, Micael, Noah Allen; De Paul, David Ruiz, Leo Messi, Luis Suarez, and German Berterame,But without that extra something that Javier Mascherano gave them the chance to fight for the title last season. The match was so complicated that the first half ended 0-0, an unfair result given the home team's greater dominance. But in football, the advantage goes to those who deserve it, and the Herons lacked that extra something, even though they managed five shots on target against Turner. Inter Miami had scoring opportunities when Suarez's shot was weak in the 8th minute, and then, in the 11th minute, Messi's first great shot forced a save from Revolution goalkeeper Matt Turner, preventing his team from conceding. New England, with their defensive style, could barely get past midfield and only managed their first shot on goal, a weak and wayward effort from Carles Gil, while Miami continued to build attacks. At 17', Berterame couldn't quite reach Allen's low cross, and then, at 20', Turner prevented Messi's Olympic goal. In the second half, things got worse for Inter Miami when, in the 52nd minute, the referee disallowed a well-executed goal by Tadeo Allende. But the surprise came four minutes later when Carles Gil, arriving from deep, took full advantage of a loose ball in the challenge between Falcon and Dor Turgeman to finish with his left foot and put his team ahead. Inter Miami, with the goal against them, hit the alarm and went in search of the equalizer, which came 20 minutes later when Rodrigo De Paul started the play with a through ball to Allende, who shot for Turner to parry, and on the rebound, Berterame appeared to send the ball into the net. In the final minutes, the Herons threw everything at Turner's goal, but the necessary play to put the ball in the net never materialized, and so Inter Miami, even with Messi, added their third home game without a win, something that is frustrating their fans.Berterame couldn't quite reach Allen's low cross, and then, in the 20th minute, Turner prevented Messi's Olympic goal.
