Inter Miami look to move on to the Leagues Cup quarterfinals as they complete Phase One of the tournament with a clash vs. Liga MX side Pumas.
Miami fought back to clinch an agonizing penalty shootout win vs. Necaxa that saw them reach five points, good enough to place them third in the MLS table in the Leagues Cup. Entering the final match of the opening phase of the tournament, Javier Mascherano’s side have plenty of chances to advance to the knockout rounds.
Liga MX side Pumas are on a similar situation. Efraín Juárez’s men have the same number of points as Miami but are sitting fifth in the Liga MX table. Pumas must win by a considerable margin to jump teams ahead of them in the standings, or hope that those in front of them drop points. Anything but a victory would likely see their Leagues Cup campaign come to an end.
It’s a high-stakes clash between two of the most popular clubs in North America as the rivalry between MLS and Liga MX continues to grow.
