The match had a lot of expectations, since the match was the second time that Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets would play together... But the match quickly turned gray for Inter Miami, as Dallas took only 3 minutes in scoring a goal...

After the goal, Inter Miami completely dominated the game thanks to Lionel Messi, and they had up to three clear chances to score, however Maarten Paes, the rival goalkeeper, avoided the goal at all costs.

Inter Miami received criticism in the first friendly of the season, because, in the 45th minute against El Salvador, Gerardo Tata Martino removed Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets from the field! Fans who had paid their way to see the stars were not very happy with the decision.

Given this, Gerardo Tata Martino commented on the reasoning behind taking care of the stars: "The best players are usually on the field, but we also have to make sure that our team is healthy and can last an entire season. That was difficult season "Last time, the question of whether we were selling more or less tickets, people wanted to know who was playing. I would love for them to play every game, but we can't worry about ticket sales. If they are healthy, they will play most of the games."
