When Inter Miami took to the pitch against Los Angeles FC on Sunday, it saw six years of hard work finally come to an end. From local politics slowing down the club’s plan for a downtown stadium deal to the controversy of not having a ‘true star’ on the field, all of the white noise surrounding the team was put to rest when La Rosa Negra kicked off their MLS regular season campaign against LAFC.
It wasn’t the prettiest of games, but Inter Miami showed the potential to grow into Diego Alonso’s tactics. We saw MLS debuts from players like Nicolas Figal and Lewis Morgan, and some world-class saves from veteran goalkeeper Luis Robles.
