Orlando City vs. Inter Miami CF - Full Match Highlights - May 15, 2024

Well, you can make an argument that it was their best performance of the season in Philadelphia, winning that game 3-2, 3-5-2. Yeah, but you said it best. 12 games without Messi, only three, two wins in those games and 18 goals scored in those. So the tempo. At this juncture in the season with 11 goals and underway, the Florida Derby is rivalry week, continues in Major League Soccer. It's Orlando City. Chris Henderson, it is for Inter-Miami and some of the other players because they don't want to consistently concede that first goal. Well, they're going to try to score first and maybe the opening here. Suarez is in and Suarez is saved by Pedro Galese. Peru's number one coming up big on the Uruguayan, Luis Suarez. And it's going to be so important tonight that there's a little bit of fluidity. Rojas, Negri wants it. Rojas finds him. Flag down for now. Negri goes back to Taylor. It's blocked by Breccolo. It's the third run. Everyone in Orlando City is worried about the run in front of them. And Gullo's not even switched on whatsoever. Negri's in behind him. Great little touch there. Good on Breccolo to side in. But that's where Rojas has been an unbelievable addition to Tata Martino and Inter-Miami. Two wonderful chances for Miami in the first 10 minutes of this match. Unable to finish either. Now Orlando City with a dangerous free kick. Muriel driving it to the near post. And it sneaks just wide into the side netting. For the opposition, for whatever reason, are a threat every single time. On our pregame show on MLS Countdown, I asked Sergio Busquets, the fountain of youth that Luis Suarez has found. And there was a big smile on his face. And he said he's always had that. Everybody finds it in Southern Florida, don't they? Here is Angulo behind, cutting it in. Nobody there. This is Torres curling it wide. Into this game, the best chances to kick off the game. They need a big save from Valencia. Bledaro, back to Muriel, flicked in. Nice turn, Ojeda! To keep it scoreless. The ball has slipped into Ojeda, just taking this run off the half turn. Hit it first time. Orlando has grown into this first half. Might be an opening for them now. Torres, Angulo and Muriel making the save and doing well to hold on. 11 of their last 15 games to set a club record with 63 points because they were fluid in the final third. He's going to try to get them just to get Rojas to be a little extra cute. It is Rojas. Valencia taking no chances, just pushing it over. The ball's dipped up over the wall, right at the goalkeeper. He's got to be careful. Cesar Araujo. Senator Mendoza says, play on. It's a throw for Miami and there will be no stoppage time in the first half. And we'll begin the second half of the Florida Derby. The second one in 2024 underway. The second half scoreless into Miami and Orlando City. Angulo, some time towards Torres. Weigand getting a touch, Torres will get back on it. Bella takes a deflection. It's over. It's the first corner of the second half. Long build up from inter-Miami. Tias Rojas and Julian Gressel. Gressel floating in a wonderful ball. It's the last off of Cartagena. He had to get anything on it. Gressel in his time and all of Major League Soccer has had the ability to deliver the final ball in multiple areas of the field, whether he's playing as a winger, central midfielder at times. That's a great ball from a deep line position and even better defending from Cartagena. Suarez knocking it back. Still not clear from Orlando. Weigand got it. Suarez cutting inside. Saved by Gillesse, the offside flag up. Aviles was well offside. Oh, that's really well to get around Busquets. Leaves it for Angulo. Back to Muriel. Touch to Ojeda. Blocked by Aviles, the flag up. Ojeda was offside. Between the two up front, because they both offer you something different. And when they're balanced together. Good luck trying to defend both of them. Direct from Busquets for Robert Taylor, leaving it for Suarez. Muriel takes it off of Taylor. Robert Taylor will go into the book. Joining Ben, I mean, Kramosky is the two players on yellow cards tonight. Press with Muriel, just an all around player, all around attacking player. He just looks way more comfortable now, knowing that he doesn't have to play again, a turn this time, Aviles ready for it. And Muriel follows Sergio Busquets. And then given a yellow head for dissent, he disagreed. Gesturing at Rosendo Mendoza. Either way, it was after the whistle. I'm not sure I see the foul there at all. Just going through Julian Gressel. For what reason? Yellow card to Cesar Araujo. That's his fifth of the season. Maybe he didn't want to take that five hour flight to San Jose. Back to Busquets, to Jordi Alba, and a cross, and somehow not in. From Jordi Alba, the understanding with Sergio Busquets. No, no. A scoreless draw in the Florida Derby. Inter-Miami and Orlando City will split the points.
