Inter Miami's head coach Javier Mascherano voiced strong criticism over a contentious yellow card given to LAFC's Nathan Ordaz, who elbowed defender Maximiliano Falcón. Mascherano maintained that such an action warranted a red card, regardless of location. Ordaz later scored the game's only goal, leading to a 1-0 victory for LAFC in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal. Despite the setback, Mascherano is determined to leverage home support in the upcoming second leg, expressing confidence in his team's comeback potential, albeit with midfielder Sergio Busquets suspended.
Mascherano criticized the yellow card given to Ordaz, calling it 'clear aggression' that merited a red card, emphasizing that such actions warrant expulsion universally.
Despite the loss, Mascherano remains optimistic about Inter Miami's chances in the second leg, stating he believes in their ability to turn the match around with fan support.
