Inter Miami falls to Monterrey in Leagues Cup

Monterrey rallied to beat Inter Miami 2-1 in the Leagues Cup group stage, with Diego Rossi scoring the dramatic 90th-minute winner after Hugo Cuypers had equalized in the 47th minute. Inter Miami had taken a 1-0 lead on Rodrigo De Paul’s 32nd-minute strike, but were unable to hold on as Monterrey completed the comeback. Lionel Messi was absent, having returned to Argentina following the death of his father, and his future return remains uncertain. The result leaves Miami’s knockout-stage prospects dependent on their final group game, with one match left. Messi’s status for the upcoming match is unclear, and Inter Miami continues to navigate the tournament without their captain. The Leagues Cup format awards several qualification spots, heightening the significance of each group finale for both teams.
