Miami International: Extraordinary Rise and Championship Dreams In the MLS match on September 25, 2023, Miami Internacional played Orlando City away from home, even without core players such as Messi, Alba and Busquets, still drew and set a big upset. The match took place against the backdrop of Internacional Miami's upcoming Open Cup final and the physical fatigue of the players, Martino's decision to give Messi a break, which also meant that they sent out their early squad. However, not only did they not collapse, they also performed well in the game.
Orlando City had the offensive advantage in the first half but failed to take advantage of the chances, while Internacional Miami also had several chances to threaten the opponents' goal, especially Campana's header. In the second half, Internacional Miami finally broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute when Ruiz scored to make it 1-0. However, Orlando City launched a counter-attack in the 66th minute when McGuire scored a goal to equalise the score at 1-1.
Although the final score was tied, it was a miracle for Internacional Miami. Without superstars such as Messi, they have performed well, not only with improved strength but also with a more determined mentality. After the match, Internacional Miami was still in the bottom two in the East, but they were only five points behind the ninth-place team and played two games less than the other teams vying for play-off qualification, so they had the initiative in the fight for play-off qualification.
Next, Internacional Miami will host the Open Cup final against Dynamo Houston. If the likes of Messi, Alba and Sergio Busquets can play, Internacional Miami is expected to win his second title of the season. Compared to before, this team has been completely new and is no longer a weak team that everyone bullies.
Opinion-based analysis:
Internacional Miami has performed impressively, showing tenacity and unity in difficult times. Martino's decision to rest core players such as Messi shows that he has a clear plan for his strategy throughout the season. The match proved that Internacional Miami not only relied on individual superstars, but had formed a balanced and confident team. They have the initiative in the fight for play-off qualification and this is their chance to return to the top.
The upcoming Open Cup final will be a crucial test and if they can win again, it will pave the way for their title dreams. The rise of the Miami International is a fascinating story in MLS that teaches us that teamwork and tactical wisdom are just as important in football, not just the shine of individual stars. I look forward to seeing what they do in the future and if they can continue to create more surprises."
