One of the home team's most notable chances came in the 34th minute when Segovia unleashed a dangerous shot, but Cincinnati goalkeeper Celentano made a miraculous save.

In the second half, Inter Miami tried to speed up, while the opponent remained loyal to the counter-attacking style. Although both teams made some changes in tactics and personnel, the match still did not have many truly dangerous situations.

In the 91st minute, Cincinnati almost had the deciding goal, but the referee disallowed it because the ball had already crossed the line.

The match ended goalless, leaving Inter Miami regretful for not being able to take advantage of home field, while Cincinnati was satisfied with a valuable point. Messi's absence clearly had a big impact on Inter Miami's attacking ability.
