The match started at a high tempo. However, bad news quickly came to Inter Miami when 'conductor' Leo Messi had to leave the field due to knee pain after only 11 minutes of play.

Soon after, Telasco Segovia opened the scoring for Inter Miami after a delicate assist from new signing Rodrigo de Paul.

The joy had just come when the pink team fell into a one-man deficit from the 17th minute when Falcon received a direct red card. Taking advantage, Necaxa equalized 1-1 in the 33rd minute thanks to Badaloni.

In the second half, the match became tense when Chicote Calderon was sent off in the 60th minute. Necaxa continued to lead 2-1 thanks to a great goal by Ricardo Monreal in the 80th minute, but Jordi Alba promptly shone with a header to equalize in the 91st minute, sending the match into a penalty shootout.
