The first 45 minutes were brimming with attacking opportunities for both sides. Just when it seemed the hosts would head into halftime scoreless, Miami delivered to the back of the net. In the 42nd minute, Afonso delivered a powerful right-footed strike from outside the box, propelling Miami to a 1-0 lead. The 1-0 scoreline remained until the end of the half.
The Herons dominated the midfield with a physical display in the first half, pressing aggressively and creating early scoring opportunities. The hosts struck again early in the second half, with Afonso completing his brace in the 62nd minute, securing a 2-0 lead for Inter Miami.
