Inter Miami now knows who they will be facing in the round of 32 of the Leagues Cup.
In-state rival Orlando City will make the short trip down to DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale to open the knockout rounds against Inter Miami on Wednesday night.
The matchup was determined dramatically by Saturday’s results. Orlando City scored a game-winner in the 92nd minute and needed a point-blank save in the 96th minute to defeat Mexican club Santos Laguna.
Inter Miami will have had seven days off once Wednesday arrives, while Orlando will have three.

FORT LAUDERDALE — Lionel Messi played his first match with Inter Miami and it couldn’t have gone any better.
The international superstar wasn’t in the starting lineup Friday night against Cruz Azul, but was inserted in the 54th minute. With the match tied 1-1, he drew a foul in the 90th minute, then rocketed a free kick into the top right corner for Inter Miami’s first win in two months.
Pink fireworks exploded above DRV PNK Stadium and the Inter Miami faithful let out its loudest roar since the club began play in 2020.
Messi was noticeably quick in his first minute on the field. He connected...
FORT LAUDERDALE — Thousands of fans filled DRV PNK Stadium on Sunday night and there wasn’t even an Inter Miami game being played.
And even despite a lengthy weather delay, international soccer superstar Lionel Messi and his former FC Barcelona teammate and new Inter Miami signee Sergio Busquets were still formally introduced in a monumental moment for American soccer.
“We’re doing this Miami-style in the rain,” Inter Miami co-owner Jorge Mas said. “This is holy water.”
Security abandon their post as the worst of the weather came in. Supporters breached the gates and passed security with no...
Inter Miami CF to officially introduce seven-time World Cup Champion, Lionel Messi to the public in special “The Unveil” event on Sunday, July 16, 2023.
Inter Miami’s last match without Lionel Messi ended the same way it has 13 other times this season: a loss.
The Argentine superstar signed his contract with the club Saturday afternoon, but did not play as his teammates hobbled their way to a 3-0 loss at St. Louis City.
It was also Gerardo “Tata” Martino’s first match as head coach. His new team hasn’t won a match since May 13, an 11-game winless streak.
Inter Miami sleepwalked through the first half and fell behind 2-0. Second-half substitutions proved beneficial, but familiar Miami attacking-third woes were still present.
Martino didn’t have...
There was no fairytale ending for Javier Morales on Saturday night. But to his credit, he’s now led Inter Miami to points in three consecutive games.
The interim head coach was given one last game before Tata Martino officially takes over and he slides back to his assistant job, and it ended in a 2-2 draw at D.C. United.
Inter Miami held two separate leads in the second half, but failed to hold onto each of them.
Midfielder Benjamin Cremaschi and defender Noah Allen each scored their first career MLS goals to account for Inter Miami’s scoring, but each was answered with a quick D.C. United equalizer.
Cremaschi’s...
FORT LAUDERDALE — Independence Day fireworks filled the sky around DRV PNK Stadium Tuesday night, but they could’ve used some more pink and black to celebrate Josef Martinez’s jaw-dropping goal.
The second half substitute scored the equalizer in the 90th minute on a bicycle kick to force an Inter Miami 2-2 draw against the Columbus Crew. It may have been the goal of his career, which is saying something for someone who is now tied for ninth all-time in career MLS goals.
Inter Miami interim coach Javier Morales said at Monday’s training that he was unsure if he’d bench Martinez in favor of forward...
FORT LAUDERDALE — Newly named Inter Miami coach Tata Martino was in the building Saturday night at DRV PNK Stadium.
Perhaps it added some extra juice to Inter Miami, but, as he awaits his necessary work documents, he could only watch from a suite as his future club extended its winless streak to eight games.
On one hand, the 1-1 draw against Austin FC was Inter Miami’s first point since May 13. But on the other side, it was a disappointing result for an Inter Miami squad — now 5-13-2 and still last in the Eastern Conference — that failed the bury a handful of scoring chances.
“I spoke with the...
MONTREAL — Chinonso Offor scored a second-half goal and Jonathan Sirois made it stand up for CF Montreal in a 1-0 victory over Inter Miami on Saturday night.
Neither team found the net until Offor took passes from Ariel Lassiter and Gabriele Corbo in the 53rd minute and scored for a third time this season.
Sirois finished with five saves to earn the clean sheet for Montreal (6-8-0).
Montreal has posted a 7-1-0 record in its last eight home matches and tied a club record with its fourth straight shutout. Montreal had four straight home shutouts spanning the 2018-19 seasons.
Inter Miami (5-9-0)...
