Inter Miami CF II News Release


Inter Miami CF II fell 1-2 to New York City FC II on a wet, rainy, Sunday evening at DRV PNK Stadium.

CJ Dos Santos got the start in goal, while the back four featured Harvey Neville and three Inter Miami CF First Team players: Jairo Quinteros, Aimé Mabika, and Kieran Gibbs. Braxton Najib, Kobi Thomas, and Abel Caputo started at midfield while Romeo Beckham, Emerson Rodríguez, and Shaan Hundal completed the front three.

Inter Miami II struck first in the 23rd minute when Beckham's corner found a waiting Quinteros who headed the ball in the back of the net. The goal marked Quinteros' first in all competitions with Inter Miami and gave Beckam his fifth assist of the 2022 MLS NEXT Pro campaign, tying North Texas SC's Hope Avayevu for most in the league.

Strong saves from Dos Santos in the 35th and 37th minutes held off an NYCFC II response before John Denis tied the game just before the halftime intermission.

After Inter Miami CF II failed to capitalize on several promising crosses in a back-and-forth second half, Denis found Stephen Turnbull in the 85th minute who beat a diving Dos Santos to give NYCFC II a 1-2 lead.

NYCFC II held off a late surge from Inter Miami II as a shot from substitute forward Shanyder Borgelin grazed off the crossbar just minutes before the final whistle.

Inter Miami CF II will look to get back in the win column on Saturday, June 4 at 7 p.m. ET when it hosts the New England Revolution II at DRV PNK Stadium.
