Inter Miami One Win Away from History: Can They Break the Record?
Inter Miami are on the cusp of making history, just one win away from breaking the record for most points earned in a single MLS regular season. The Herons secured a thrilling 1-0 victory over Toronto FC, thanks to Leonardo Campana’s late goal in the 93rd minute. This stunning win propels Inter Miami closer to the record, currently held by the New England Revolution with 73 points in 2021.
Manager Gerardo "Tata" Martino made some surprising changes to the starting lineup, resting key players and giving some of his squad members a well-deserved rest. Luis Suárez, Lionel Messi, and Sergio Busquets only entered the game in the second half, but still managed to make an impact. It’s clear that Martino is looking to freshen up his team for the final stretch of the season.
This win was all the more significant considering it came after Inter Miami secured the MLS Supporters’ Shield as the best regular-season team last week. They’ve already made history this season by winning the Supporters’ Shield, their first piece of MLS silverware since debuting as an expansion franchise in 2020. The Herons will now look to wrap up the season on a high note, and securing the record would be the perfect way to do so.
Their final game of the campaign will see them host the New England Revolution on October 19th at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The stakes are high, and Inter Miami will be eager to get the job done in front of their home crowd. With home-field advantage already secured, they’ll be looking to use this momentum to drive them through the MLS playoffs.
As defender Ian Fray put it, "Having home-field advantage is amazing, especially with our fans. It’s the perfect situation for us." Miami will kick off the Round One best-of-three game at Chase Stadium on October 25th against the winner of the Eastern Conference Wild Card match.
So, will Inter Miami make history and break the record? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – this season has been an incredible journey for the Herons. Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to follow us on all social media platforms for more updates!
