Inter Miami CF secured a place in the 2025 Leagues Cup semifinals by defeating Tigres UANL 2-1 at Chase Stadium. The match saw Luis Suárez take center stage, scoring two goals, both from the penalty spot. The win was achieved in the absence of Lionel Messi, who was unavailable due to a muscle injury. Miami took an early lead after Tigres’ Javier Aquino committed a handball. Jordi Alba was substituted at halftime due to injury. Head coach Javier Mascherano was also dismissed before the start of the second half. Tigres responded with a goal from Ángel Correa, but Inter Miami was awarded a second penalty. Suárez capitalized on this opportunity to put his team back in the lead. Tigres had a late chance, but Miami held firm. The team now moves on to face either Orlando City or Toluca in the next stage of the tournament.
