(VIDEO) With this goal, Tomas Aviles makes Messi's Inter Miami draw against New York City FC

Inter Miami hosted New York City in a match where victory was more than necessary for those from Florida. However, the Miami club once again regretted the absence of Lionel Messi and it was Tomas Aviles who ended up saving the club from defeat. The Argentine striker scored a goal late in the game against the New York team. This result complicates Inter Miami in its quest to qualify for the playoffs.

Inter Miami tied this Saturday against New York City 1-1 and took a false step in its goal of getting into the MLS Playoffs. The Florida team, which could not count on Lionel Messi, lost 1-0 at home due to the goal of Uruguayan Santiago Rodríguez, but in added time Argentine Tomás Avilés scored 1-1.

Martino opted for a forward made up of the Argentine Facundo Farías and the Ecuadorian Leonardo Campana, in addition to being able to count on Sergio Busquets as the axis and Benjamin Cremaschi as the winger in the midfield. But, the team's play was far from what was seen with La Pulga on the field, although at least they were able to add a point thanks to the header on a corner kick in the fifth minute of addition by Avilés, the defender who emerged from Racing who arrived as a reinforcement in the last transfer market.

Will Messi play in the next game?

We will have to wait to see now if he will be part of the game on October 4 when he has to visit Chicago Fire for a new commitment in the MLS. Precisely, Chicago Fire is the one in the Playoff playoff zone, with 37 points, fourth more than Inter Miami, so on Wednesday there will be a true final. Then, they will have to host Cincinnati, leader of the Eastern Conference, before the start of the FIFA matchday, when Messi will surely travel to Argentina to join Lionel Scaloni's team.
