Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls ended in disappointment for Miami after the visitors suffered a 2-0 defeat in their MLS regular-season clash on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The New York Red Bulls capitalised on an early defensive error to seize control at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, New Jersey.
An unfortunate own goal from Inter Miami midfielder Casemiro handed the hosts the advantage in the seventh minute. Mohammed Sofo helped launch the attacking move, while Cade Cowell delivered the cross that deflected off Casemiro and entered the net.
Consequently, Miami faced an uphill battle before establishing their attacking rhythm. Despite enjoying greater possession, Inter Miami struggled to convert their control into clear scoring opportunities.
The visitors dominated 62.5 per cent of possession but managed only two shots on target throughout the encounter. Meanwhile, New York created several dangerous chances and maintained pressure on Miami’s defence.
Goalkeeper Ethan Horvath produced two saves to preserve his clean sheet and frustrate the visitors.Lionel Messi entered the contest in the 56th minute after replacing Riquelme Fillipi. However, the Argentine superstar could not inspire the comeback Miami desperately needed.
Miami came close to equalising in the 84th minute through substitutes Santiago Morales and Telasco Segovia. Horvath stopped Morales’ attempt before Segovia struck the crossbar with his powerful effort.
New York eventually sealed the victory during second-half stoppage time. Emil Forsberg finished a move involving Cameron Harper and Ronald Donkor in the 91st minute, securing all three points for the hosts.
The result ended Miami’s three-match winning streak and strengthened New York’s push for an Eastern Conference playoff position. New York entered the match fighting to remain above the postseason qualification line.
For Inter Miami, the defeat highlights concerns about defensive concentration and attacking efficiency despite their possession advantage. The team must respond quickly as the regular season approaches its conclusion.
Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls therefore delivered a significant setback for Miami, who will seek redemption against FC Cincinnati on October 28. Meanwhile, New York travel to face New England Revolution on the same date.
