Inter Miami vs NY Red Bulls LIVE: Ruvalcaba scores the opener! (0-1) Lionel Messi’s second game at Nu Stadium

Rodrigo De Paul had a clear chance from inside the box, but Horvath made a spectacular save to prevent Inter Miami from finding the equalizer!

The ball fell to Segovia inside the box, who had time to control it, but his shot was blocked by a defender and sent out for a corner.

Jorge Ruvalcaba scores the opener of the game!

The match is a tightly contested battle in the midfield; neither team can't create dangerous chances, turning the encounter into a physical struggle.

Following a brilliant move by Lionel Messi, the Argentine delivered a great pass that German Berterame only had to tap in, but he surprisingly failed to make contact!

An intense start at Nu Stadium, with both teams playing very physically in a match that looks like it will be an end-to-end affair.

During his pre-match press conference, New York Red Bulls head coach Michael Bradley let Bolavip know that his players won't get distracted about facing Lionel Messi and the Inter Miami stars.

“They don’t get distracted at all,” Bradley told Bolavip during a media session on Thursday. “We have a really good group. Training has been excellent all week. Like we have all season long, we continue to talk about the idea that we play one game at a time. You play the team that’s in front of you, and you get ready, you do everything you can all week to prepare and to be ready, when that whistle blows, to spill your heart and soul into that game and that 90 minutes. And when that’s done, then we get ready to do it again“.

After a somewhat bittersweet debut following the 2-2 draw against Austin FC, Nu Stadium is preparing to host the second match since its inauguration and hopes for the first victory of this new era.
