Inter Miami and NYCFC faced off in a much-anticipated matchup on Sunday night. The match, which was played at Inter Miami’s home stadium, marked the first time the two teams had met since the start of the MLS season. The match was also the first time that Inter Miami was playing without their star player, Lionel Messi.

Inter Miami started the match strong, creating several chances in the first half. They were unable to convert any of these chances into goals, however, and the match ended in a scoreless draw. The result was a disappointment for Inter Miami, who had hoped to get a win with Messi in the lineup.

NYCFC was unable to capitalize on Inter Miami’s lack of scoring, as they failed to create any clear-cut chances. The match ended in a 0-0 draw, which was a fair result given the lack of chances created by both teams. Despite the draw, Inter Miami still remain in second place in the Eastern Conference, while NYCFC remain in seventh.

Inter Miami will be looking to get back to winning ways when they face off against the New England Revolution on October 17th. NYCFC, meanwhile, will be looking to get their first win of the season when they take on the Columbus Crew on October 24th.
