Inter Miami CF fell to a 3–2 defeat against Club Leon in a Leagues Cup Group Stage encounter, despite dominating possession with 59 per cent and testing the visitors with 24 shots. The home side managed nine shots on target, but their goalkeeper saved only four of seven efforts faced, a 57.14 per cent save rate that proved costly in a match where clinical finishing made the difference. Club Leon, operating in a compact 4–1–4–1 formation, were far more efficient on their limited opportunities, converting from just 15 shots with seven reaching the target and their goalkeeper denying eight of nine Miami efforts at a superior 77.78 per cent save rate. The visitors' defensive discipline and counter-attacking threat proved decisive despite being outshot and pinned back for large stretches. The result marks a difficult start for Miami in the group stage.
