"The rain started falling during the second half of NYCFC's loss to Inter Miami when it was only 1-0 down, and the weather foreshadowed a worse fate for the Boys in Blue. All it took was 12 minutes: a Luis Suarez penalty in the 83rd minute secured the three points and a play-off spot, but it was nestled between a Lionel Messi brace, where the Argentine showed his usual brilliance under Citi Field's bright lights."
"The first 45 minutes, we played pretty decent, Jansen said. We had two, three good moments in the game to get ourselves on the scoreboard, but it was determined by one error, and we went 1-0 down at halftime. Needing a goal to equalize, Jansen sent on Alonso Martinez for Hannes Wolf just past the hour mark. NYCFC's top scorer Jansen then took off Martins and Agustin Ojeda, who had the tough job of marking Jordi Alba, for Jonathan Shore and Julian Fernandez."
