In the second half, Inter Miami pressed their opponents to find an equalizer. In the 74th minute, the turning point came when David Brekalo committed a foul in the penalty area and was sent off. From the penalty spot, Leo Messi coolly kicked the ball into Gallese's net, equalizing the score 1-1.

With the advantage of having more players, coach Javier Mascherano's team continuously increased the pressure. In the 88th minute, Messi continued to speak up with a good combination with Jordi Alba before making a decisive shot to increase the score to 2-1.

Just two minutes later, Telasco Segovia sealed the 3-1 win with a powerful finish, completing the impressive comeback.
