Inter Miami lost 3-0 to Orlando at home in May, and since then, had lost just two of 16 games, and one of those was to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. Mascherano's team overcame its spring funk and reached the knockout round of the Club World Cup and the Leagues Cup.

Luis Muriel scored a goal in each half and Martín Ojeda had a goal and an assist to lead Orlando City to a 4-1 victory over Inter Miami.

The Lions retook the lead in the 50th minute, as Muriel dribbled past Jordi Alba on a short corner kick and smashed a shot into the netting. They extended their lead soon after, when Martín Ojeda beat goalkeeper Oscar Ustari at the near post in the 58th minute.
