Match Action
Inter Miami found an early opener through Alba in the ninth minute. Busquets started the play sharing the ball with Messi in midfield, who then found Suárez right outside the box before he played a pass into the path of Alba on the left end of the opposition's box. The Spanish left back then finished with a powerful left-footed strike to send the ball to the back of the net to record his first goal in the tournament, while the assist was the second for Suárez in the 2025 Champions Cup.
Despite Inter Miami's efforts, Vancouver Whitecaps subsequently turned the game around with goals in the 51st, 53rd and 71st minutes for the final 1-3 scoreline in the match.
