Philadelphia Union vs Inter Miami

Philadelphia Union came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw against Inter Miami at Subaru Park, refusing to go quietly despite being outpossessed for large stretches. Miami dominated early and led 2-1 at the break, with Lionel Messi pulling the strings throughout. The Union came alive in the second half though, peppering Miami's goal with 17 shots across the match and forcing the visitors into damage control mode. It was a frustrating day for the home side despite their clear territorial superiority and six efforts on target. Miami barely got forward—five shots total—yet stayed dangerous on the counter, with Messi orchestrating chances that could have sealed the win. The draw leaves both sides with something to feel pleased and aggrieved about in equal measure, though Union fans will be ruing what felt like two points dropped on their own patch.
