Chaos Unleashed: Four Goals and a Red Card in Miami’s Leagues Cup Thriller
The Leagues Cup has witnessed its fair share of drama, but Inter Miami’s round-of-32 clash with Toronto has taken the cake. A first half for the ages saw four goals and a red card, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
The hosts got off to a flying start, with Matías Rojas netting in the opening three minutes. Diego Gómez, who’s set to join Brighton in the Premier League, doubled the lead with a stunning strike from the edge of the box.
But Toronto refused to back down, and a defensive error allowed Lorenzo Insigne to pull one back from the penalty spot. Miami regained their advantage with an audacious Luis Suárez chip, which left Messi grinning from ear to ear on the sidelines.
Just when it seemed like Toronto’s night was done, a defensive howler gifted them another chance. New signing David Martínez was sent off after a VAR review for a reckless tackle, leaving his team to finish the half with 10 men.
Four goals and a red card in just 25 minutes – this Leagues Cup tie has already become a classic. But what’s next? Will Miami’s momentum carry them through to the next round, or can Toronto regroup and cause an upset?
