Inter Miami leads New England 2-1 in crucial MLS game

Inter Miami is leading New England Revolution 2-1 in an MLS game at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts.

New England’s Dániel Gazdag scored first, before Germán Berterame and Lionel Messi put Miami ahead.

The teams are direct rivals in the Eastern Conference standings, with New England two points ahead of Miami before the game.

A Miami win would secure a Concacaf Champions Cup place for next year, a major goal for the club.

The Champions Cup is Concacaf’s top club competition, and MLS has six places in it.

The result could also affect Miami’s playoff home-field advantage, with Chicago Fire one point behind Miami and Charlotte FC three points back.

Miami’s final regular-season game is against Charlotte FC.
