"It's great that this moment has arrived, reinforcing our conviction to continue along the same path.

"Javier Mascherano revelled in leading Inter Miami to their first MLS Cup final following their 5-1 thrashing of New York City FC at Chase Stadium. Tadeo Allende scored a hat-trick and Mateo Silvetti and Telasco Segovia also got themselves on the scoresheet, as the Herons won the Eastern Conference title in style. Indeed, Miami became the first team in MLS history to win three successive games by four or more goals in a single postseason campaign, but they still have one game to go."
