The excellent momentum of Inter Miami continues. Drawn by its stars, particularly Messi and Suarez, Inter Miami also beat Montreal (3-2), confirming its lead in the MLS regular season. Tata Martino’s team dominates the Eastern Conference with 27 points won in 13 matches (only two defeats to their credit).

However, despite the success, Messi è became very angry because of MLS regulations. In the 40th minute, abetted by a bad foul by Campbell, the Argentine è was rescued by club doctors. Because the Montreal player's intervention was not sanctioned with a yellow, the Pulce, who left the field after medical assistance, was forced to remain on stand-by for two minutes.

A rule that sent Messi himself into a rage, who, turning toward the camera, exclaimed: "These kinds of rules are not good". The coach of Inter Miami è came to the rescue of his star: "The opponent deserved a yellow card. Had he been cautioned, Messi would not have had to stand still two minutes before re-entering the field", his words reported by ESPN.

The Inter Miami coach added: "With these new rules, there's something to review. The offense was obvious and deserved a yellow. Instead, we were forced to give up Leo (Messi, ed.) for two minutes. In fact, the team that was fouled è was punished".
