And the first 45 minutes come to an end. Inter Miami, which has been the dominant team, goes into the break in front courtesy for a goal from Taylor. Salt Lake will have a lot of retrospect to do and will expect to not loose possession as it did in this half. An exciting second half on the cards

Three added minutes. Meanwhile, Brody is down on the ground in agony as Gressel seemed to have stomped his hand during the build-up to the previous attack. The medical team rushes in to attend him and thankfully, for Salt Lake, the number two gets up and walks towards the sidelines rather quickly for a quick break.

What a chance for Miami! Gressel broke free and made a solo run near the box. He finds Messi to his right with MacMath well out of his position. Messi sees the situation and tries to slot one home but there are far too many defenders surrounding him

AND TAYLOR PUTS INTER MIAMI IN FRONT OUT OF NOWHERE! MACMATH SHOULD’VE SAVED THAT! Taylor gets a wonderful through ball from Messi and he latches on to the ball to shoot it from an awkward angle. MacMath tries to save but the ball slips out of his hand and goes into the goal.
