Inter Miami CF had to settle for a point on Saturday night, drawing 1-1 with the New England Revolution in an entertaining Major League Soccer fixture at Nu Stadium in Miami.
After a goalless first half, the match came to life when Carles Gil put New England in front in the 56th minute, giving the visitors an advantage against the run of the overall flow. Miami had seen more of the ball throughout the evening and spent long stretches probing for openings, but the Revolution were clinical when their moment arrived.
The home side responded with urgency. Inter Miami finished with 67.9 percent possession, won seven corners, and forced 10 shots on target from 18 total attempts, numbers that reflected how much territory they controlled. New England, though, remained dangerous in transition and still produced 16 shots of their own despite seeing far less of the ball.
Miami finally found their equalizer in the 76th minute through Germán Berterame, whose finish brought the hosts level at 1-1 and lifted the tempo inside the stadium. It was a deserved goal on the balance of chances, and it ensured Javier Mascherano’s side had something to show for a sustained second-half push.
The closing stages were competitive and increasingly physical, with Inter Miami’s Tadeo Allende shown a yellow card in the 59th minute, David Ruiz booked in the 67th, and Micael entering the referee’s notebook in stoppage time at 90’+2′. Still, neither side could find a late winner.
In the end, this felt like a draw both teams could justify. Inter Miami will point to their control, chance creation, and shot volume as evidence they did enough to win. New England, meanwhile, showed resilience, stayed organized without the ball, and took home a legitimate road result after weathering long spells of pressure.
For Miami, it was a fixture that highlighted both their attacking persistence and their need for sharper finishing in decisive moments. For the Revolution, Carles Gil once again provided the cutting edge, and the visitors left Florida with a hard-earned point against one of the league’s more assertive home performances.
