Without Lionel Messi, Inter Miami survived and dramatically defeated Tigres 2–1 to move on to the 2025 Leagues Cup semifinals thanks to a brace from Luis Suárez.
Miami looked more comfortable from the start and were able to reflect it on the scoresheet 23 minutes into the contest. Telasco Segovia sent in a cross that Javier Aquino blocked with his hand. Though controversial, the referee awarded a penalty that Luis Suárez converted to give the Herons an early lead.
