Can Inter Miami still qualify for the MLS playoffs despite the draw against Nashville?

Inter Miami and Nashville failed to get past a draw in the MLS game in which neither team was able to finish the clear plays they had in the match. The reality is that the Florida team needed to win, taking advantage of their locality and this was not the case. However, the tie is not entirely serious, but it can complicate things even more.

Inter Miami has 21 points in 23 games, managed to get out of last position in the Eastern Conference and now will have the chance to close the gap with a direct rival. Nashville SC has four losses in a row (the last 4-0 against Atlanta) but with 38 points (in 25 games) it is in the playoffs qualifying zone. Now, the tie between the two does not help either of the two teams at all.

Lionel Messi tried to make the difference in this match, but the reality is that the Florida team did not finish the actions in the best possible way. Nashville even had a goal, which was disallowed for offside. The panorama could be complicated for Lionel Messi and his teammates in their aspirations to reach the playoffs.

Inter Miami does not have to win each of the remaining games, but they do have to win as many as possible. Lionel Messi will be unavailable for the next three games and that could further complicate his qualification. The Florida team has placed in an important way in this return of the MLS, but its classification is complex. Adding 25 points would make the dream possible, or at least bring it as close as possible.
