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. Their 1-0 victory over Toronto FC at BMO Field on Saturday has sent the Herons’ fans into a frenzy, and rightfully so. With 73 points currently on the board, another win would see them overtake the New England Revolution’s record of 74 points set in 2021.
Late Heroics Seal the Deal
The winner came in the 93rd minute, courtesy of Leonardo Campana’s goal off a pass from Luis Suárez. The Uruguayan striker’s eighth goal of the season was a fitting reward for his teammates, who have been outstanding all season. Suárez, Lionel Messi, and Sergio Busquets, who all entered the game late in the second half, made an instant impact, proving their quality yet again.
Rotation Strategy Pays Off
Head coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino opted to rest several key players, rotating his starting lineup, and it seemed to work a treat. Despite missing out on some of the action, Inter Miami managed to get the job done, showcasing their depth and squad quality.
Historic Significance
Should Inter Miami win their next game, they will set a new MLS record for most points earned in a single regular season. But it’s not just about the record – it’s about cementing their position as one of the best teams in the league. With the MLS playoffs approaching, the Herons’ confidence is at an all-time high.
Chase the Title
And what better way to win the title than by playing in front of their own fans at Chase Stadium on October 19? With home-field advantage already secured, Inter Miami will look to cap off an impressive season with a bang.
Fray’s Reaction
"Ian Fray, the Herons’ defender, praised the significance of having home-field advantage, saying: "It’s the perfect situation for us." He’s spot on – Inter Miami will be backed by their energetic fans, making it the perfect platform to launch their playoff campaign.
