Inter Miami American lost 0-2 to its Canadian host Vancouver White Caps, at dawn on Friday, in the first leg of the semi-finals of the North, Central American Champions League and Caribbean Football Championship.
Brian White opened the scoring for Vancouver in the 25th minute of the match that witnessed the participation of Lionel Messi, the captain of Inter Miami.
While Sebastian Burhalter added the second goal in the 84th minute, so that the Canadian team would closely approach the final match.
Inter Miami’s task has become difficult to qualify for a final, as Vancouver is sufficient to lose a single goal difference in the second leg, which will be held next Wednesday evening at the “Chis in Fort Lauderdale”, Florida, USA, in order to qualify for the final.
On the other hand, Inter Miami has to win at least 3 goals on his opponent in the second leg, if he wants to continue the competition and continue his dream of crowning the title.
The winner of that confrontation will meet in the final, which will be held on the first of next June, with the winner of the other golden square confrontation between the Mexican Cruz Azul Cruise and his compatriot Tagers Onal.
The first leg, which was held between the two teams at the Tigerers stadium, ended in a 1/1 draw.
It is noteworthy that the match witnessed a record attendance of the fans at the BC Bliss Stadium in the Canadian city of Vancouver, where the number of spectators reached 53,837 fans, who came to watch Messi.
It should be noted that Inter Miami is competing with Al -Ahly in the first group of the 2025 Club World Cup, which will be held in the United States of America this summer with the participation of 32 teams.
The group includes, along with Al -Ahly and Inter Miami, the Portuguese Porto and the Brazilian Miras.
