Inter Miami CF secured a commanding 2–0 victory away at Real Salt Lake in MLS action, with both sides adopting identical 3–4–3 formations but the visitors executing far more effectively. Miami dominated proceedings, registering 19 shots to Salt Lake's 11, whilst their expected goals of 1.67 reflected superior chance creation compared to the hosts' 1.07. De Paul and Suárez converted their opportunities, with Miami's seven shots on target proving decisive against Salt Lake's four. The hosts struggled to break down Miami's defensive structure despite their territorial ambitions, with Miami's goalkeeper making seven saves at a 71.43 per cent rate, though he was slightly fortunate to concede only 1.68 xG against his side's xG conceded. Salt Lake's 3–4–3 setup failed to generate sufficient attacking thrust, leaving them unable to capitalise on their home advantage. This result underscores Miami's growing menace as genuine contenders this season.
