A number of matches were played on the night, among which the most watched was the Miami International match. Inter Miami went away to challenge Riyadh Crescent. Riyadh Crescent is the No. 1 team in the Saudi league and is unbeaten so far. This game is a big challenge for Inter Miami. As a result, Inter Miami lost the game, which was expected. Riyadh Crescent took advantage of home advantage and got into the groove very quickly, scoring two goals in less than 13 minutes, scored by Aleksandar Mitrovic and Hamdan. Inter Miami's defense is in vain.
Although Inter Miami then relied on Suarez's goal to pull one back, however, soon Inter Miami conceded again and Hamdan assisted Michael's header. The Miami International goalkeeper's mistakes were outrageous. A defensive combination like Inter Miami is really a sinkhole, and it will be difficult to make a breakthrough in the new season.
In the second half, Inter Miami chased two goals in a row. Messi scored from the penalty spot and then set up David Ruiz's goal. Inter Miami equalised. However, in the final moments, Inter Miami conceded another goal, and Malcolm headed in to complete the stunner, and the final score was fixed at 3-4, and Miami International lost to Riyadh Crescent. Although Messi and Suarez both scored in this game, the poor defense still caused the team to lose the game.
In the other arena, Roma played a Serie A league match with Salernitana. Roma face bottom team Salernitana. Against opponents of this level, even if they are playing away, Roma still aim to win as the minimum goal. However, Roma struggled to get off the beaten track and struggled to create decent chances against Salernitana's defence despite possession. Salernitana, on the other hand, had good chances but couldn't convert them into goals. The first half was scoreless for both sides.
There was a turning point in the second half. Maggiore was fouled for handball in the box and gave Roma a penalty. It was a blessing from heaven that Dybala didn't waste such a good opportunity to easily convert the penalty to give Roma the lead. Manuel Pellegrini then seized the opportunity and doubled the lead with a flanking push into the empty net. In the 70th minute, Kastanos headed in to close the gap. In the end, Roma won Salernitana 2-1 and moved up to 5th place.
