Inter Miami suffers without Lionel Messi and falls to Rayados de Monterrey after a goal in the 89th minute [Video]

Inter Miami continues to suffer the absence of its star Lionel Messi, who suffers a hamstring injury, and again this Wednesday they were defeated at home 1-2 against Rayados de Monterrey during the first leg of the League quarterfinals of Concacaf Champions.

Despite having hit the scoreboard first, Inter Miami could not control the advantage and ultimately experienced Monterrey’s comeback, which ended up tying the game thanks to a goal from Argentine midfielder Jorge Rodríguez.

However, Inter Miami’s script began as planned after just in the 19th minute, Tomás Avilés got between the Monterrey defense and took advantage of a shot from the corner kick that hit with a volley in the small area for the 1- 0.

Despite Inter Miami’s dominance on the scoreboard and also on the field, with control of the ball, the expulsion of David Ruíz ended up unbalancing the match in favor of the Liga MX team.

And the effect was instantaneous, because after the red card to Ruíz in the 65th minute, four minutes later the equalizer came from Maxi Meza, who after a series of rebounds in the area scored at will to make it 1-1.

When it seemed that Inter Miami was dedicated to defending the result at all costs and would travel with the tie to Monterrey, a very serious error came from Diego Gómez that Rodríguez immediately took advantage of for the final figures.

The Paraguayan midfielder tried to start a counterattack when he received the ball on the edge of his area, but in a mistake he lost the ball and it fell at the feet of Rodríguez, who sent a shot from outside the area directly into the corner and without the possibility of rebound. for goalkeeper Drake Callender.

With the defeat, Tata Martino’s team has accumulated three games without winning, the same number that Messi has without seeing action, after the 4-0 defeat against New York Red Bulls and the 1-1 draw against New York City FC, while the led by Fernando Ortiz will try to close the pass to the semifinals on April 10 in Mexican territory.
