Monterrey vs. Inter Miami 3 -1

On a warm summer evening, Monterrey faced off against Inter Miami in a highly anticipated match. Both teams were eager to prove their worth on the field and secure a victory. From the start, Monterrey showed their dominance with quick passes and precise ball control. Their efforts paid off when they scored the first goal of the game, sending their fans into a frenzy.

Inter Miami fought back valiantly, but Monterrey's defense proved to be too strong to break through. As the game progressed, Monterrey continued to showcase their superior skills and strategy, adding two more goals to their tally.

Monterrey host Inter Miami and arrive with the advantage of having won in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup Quarterfinals, although the series remains a reserved prediction.

The Rayados got a 1-2 advantage away from home in a match that, in the first instance, those led by Fernando Ortiz lost, but now, they will come to the 'Steel Giant' to try to finish their work.

Brandon Vázquez and Germán Berterame scored a goal each and Jesús Gallardo made it 3-0 for Rayados, who deserved to win by more difference than the final 3-1. Diego Gómez scored for Inter Miami after a cross from Messi, already when his team was down to 10 players due to the expulsion of Jordi Alba.

Former FC Cincinnati forward Brandon Vazquez (31') made the most of an errant pass from Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender to put Monterrey in front, 1-0. It was similar to Columbus Crew goalkeeper Patrick Schulte's miscue early in the first half at Tigres UANL Tuesday night.

Schulte redeemed himself in the penalty kicks against Tigres, making two huge saves as Columbus became the first MLS team to beat a Mexican foe in CCC play after hosting and not winning in the first leg.

Inter Miami were attempting to become the second team, but couldn't overcome their first-half deficit. Monterrey increased their lead in the 58th minute via a thunderous strike by Germán Berterame, followed by Jesús Gallardo's open header six minutes later to seal the Herons' fate.

Messi and company experienced a true nightmare during their visit to Mexico, as the Rayados won 3-1 with goals from Brando Vázquez, Germán Berterame and Jesús Gallardo.

Now, the Regios will face the Columbus Crew in the semifinals in search of a place in the final.
