Tata Martino reveals which moment caused Inter Miami to drop points vs New York City FC.
Inter Miami once again dropped points from a winning position on the road this week with a 1-1 draw against New York City FC.
James Sands’ 95th-minute equaliser at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday prevented the Herons from winning again despite having Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in the starting lineup.
Leonardo Campana gave Inter Miami the lead, and Messi and Suarez both missed shots as they failed to secure all three points. The famous baseball pitch is notorious for being a challenging away game for Major League Soccer teams.
Additionally, Inter Miami’s manager, Tata Martino, has identified the specific moment when the team lost to New York.
Martino takes issue with the referee for failing to flag an Inter Miami foul for New York’s goal.
Speaking to the press after the game, Martino was quick to call out the referee of the match for not calling a foul in the build-up to New York City’s goal, with Thiago Martins clearly shoving Yannick Bright to the ground.
Regarding the incident and the match, Martino stated: “The match lacked a good referee, but the team didn’t lack anything.” We played well and deserved to win. We would have won the match 1-0 had the referee called the foul against Yannick Bright.
The uncalled foul won’t come as a huge surprise to Inter Miami supporters, who have witnessed some extremely bad calls from league officials this season due to the MLS’s dubious refereeing standards.
Martino has every right to be upset at dropping two points when the Herons had such a great chance to win the game, especially considering that the referee’s call cost Inter Miami another victory.
Yankee Stadium saw enough quality from Inter Miami to complete the task.
This weekend in the Big Apple, Inter Miami had more than enough quality to defeat New York City, especially with Messi and Suarez back in the starting lineup and the regular cast of MLS players taking to the pitch.
The Herons should still take responsibility for why they weren’t able to win on their own, even though the referee had a hand in Inter Miami’s point deduction. They had enough talent on the pitch to win the game and earn three points.
The Supporters’ Shield is still in the hands of Inter Miami, but the previous two outcomes could serve as a warning about what might occur in the playoffs if Martino makes mistakes with his strategy.
