Inter Miami and Pumas square off on Wednesday night in Fort Lauderdale with a Leagues Cup knockout berth on the line, and plenty of chaos under the hood.
Miami are unbeaten through two games, but they’ll be without Lionel Messi and center back Maxi Falcón, both casualties of a bruising draw against Necaxa that ended in a penalty shootout win.
Rodrigo De Paul stepped up with two assists and now shoulders the creative load for a side still figuring itself out post-Messi. Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba bring experience, but against a Pumas team built to pounce on defensive lapses, that may not be enough.
Pumas, meanwhile, ride in with five points and a chip on their shoulder. After a wild 3–2 win over Atlanta United, fueled by a late brace from Coco Carrasquilla, they’ll have to recalibrate quickly without suspended goalkeeper Keylor Navas. The Costa Rican’s absence leaves 17-year-old Rodrigo Parra Arteaga between the posts in what’s likely to be the biggest night of his young career.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times, and the latest lineup news.
