With the absence of Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami player who shone against Orlando City

Inter Miami faced Orlando City in a Florida derby, where it was expected that despite the absences of Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, the Miami team would have an important match. However, Orlando City's order was very good and this was key for Miami not being able to get the three points from their visit. However, Gerardo Martino's club got a valuable point that still keeps them alive to try to qualify for the playoffs.

Gerardo Martino confirmed prior to the match that Lionel Messi was not going to have minutes in this match, as well as Jordi Alba, who also had physical discomfort. However, it was leaked prior to the match that Sergio Busquets was not going to be part of Inter Miami's starting lineup either. Something that happened since the footballer was not even part of the bench in this game.

After 90 minutes of Inter Miami, the player who stood out the most and was one of those who most resisted the home team's attacks was goalkeeper Callender. However, the scorer of the goal, David Ruiz, was also key for Gerardo Martino's team to leave the Orlando City stadium with a point. The Honduran demonstrated his talent in the field of one of the Miami team's rivals, and was the author of the only goal for his team in this match.

Inter Miami's path to the playoffs

In addition to the duel against Orlando, those led by Martino will have to face New York City, Chicago Fire, Cincinnati and Charlotte in duplicate. It should be remembered that the Miami team was submerged at the bottom of the Eastern Conference before Messi's signing and now its chances of entering the postseason are very great. According to the Apple TV broadcast, Inter Miami needs to win each of the remaining matches to continue to have a significant chance of reaching the playoff spots.
