Chaos is reigning supreme in Fort Lauderdale this evening as the non-stop first half of Inter Miami’s round-of-32 clash with Toronto has seen four goals and a red card.

The hosts found themselves in front in a flash thanks to Matías Rojas, who has impressed throughout the tournament, got his name back on the scoresheet in the opening three minutes.

Only a few minutes later, Diego Gómez, who only just returned from Olympic duties with Paraguay, picked out the bottom corner from the edge of the box to show why he is likely on his way to Brighton in the Premier League, and extend Miami’s lead.

The action would not stop there however, and Toronto showd that they will not go out without a fight. After a silly defensive error in the Miami box, Lorenzo Insigne cut the lead in half from the penalty-spot.

Yet Miami regained their advantage only minutes later thanks to an audacious Luis Suárez chip over Sean Johnson in the Toronto goal, and Messi loved it from the sidelines.

But just when it seemed like it just wouldn’t be Toronto’s night, they were given yet another gift in the form of a defensive howler when new signing David Martínez took down a Toronto attacker from behind, promptly being sent off after a VAR review.
