In an MLS regular season match, Inter Miami played at home against Toronto on the night of Thursday, July 18.
Lionel Messi was unable to participate in this match as he sustained an injury in the Copa America final. According to Miami's coach, Gerardo Martino, Lionel might miss at least two games. However, Luis Suarez returned to the team and took to the field during the match.
Inter Miami managed to redeem themselves this night for their previous 1-6 defeat. By the end of the first half, Diego Gomez, assisted by Redondo Solari, put Miami ahead. Notably, Solari was the main architect of this victory. After the break, the Argentine added two more goals to his tally, finishing the game with a brace and an assist.
As a result, Inter secured a 3-1 victory over Toronto, earned three points, and reclaimed the top spot in the Eastern Conference standings of the MLS.
