Monterrey was leading 2-1 on aggregate, and they looked comfortable at their stadium, letting Messi and Inter Miami hold onto the ball. Inter Miami couldn't hold onto the ball for long, and the Mexican side was threatening on their attacks. Monterrey had a couple of shots on target, and Messi was even close to the opener. The Argentine took a shot in the box, but the tight angle led to him sending the shot over the net.

The opener arrived for Monterrey in the worst way possible. Inter Miami's keeper Drake Callender attempted to pass the ball to his teammate, but the pass was intercepted by Monterrey's striker Brandon Vasquez. The American striker pretends to take a shot quickly but doesn't shoot until he drops Callender with a fake shot. Vasquez then calmly slotted the ball in the bottom left corner to make it 1-0 for the Mexican team. This was the worst start for Inter Miami, and things only got worse in the second half.
