Inter Miami is set to take on Toronto FC in a MLS matchup tonight at Chase Stadium. The match will take place on Monday morning (7/4) at 04:30 IST. The Herons, who recently won the 2024 Supporters’ Shield, want to keep up their good form in the 2025 season. Meanwhile, Toronto FC will be hoping to surprise everyone by beating the team from South Florida, which has lots of famous players.
Match Preview
Inter Miami are in great form, with Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez leading the team. In their recent 3-2 win over Columbus Crew, they showed how good they are at attacking, with Messi scoring two goals in the first half and goalkeeper Drake Callender saving a penalty. Tonight, they will play Toronto FC, who have had a bit of a shaky past few MLS seasons, but are still a dangerous team to play against because they have nothing to lose.
The match is made more exciting by the fact that Inter Miami’s new signing, 18-year-old Ecuadorian striker Allen Obando, who joined on loan from the Atlético Madrid Group for $4 million, could play. Obando has already made waves with Ecuador’s U-20 and senior national teams, and he is named on the bench. He could make an impact if he is called upon to play.

Messi, the team’s captain, will try to score more goals with Suárez, while the experienced defenders Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets and midfielders will provide stability in defence and midfield.
