Despite not having their talisman Lionel Messi for the match, Inter Miami were able to get past Tigres 2-1, advancing to the semifinals of the Leagues Cup behind Luis Suarez burying two penalties to win the match.

The Inter Miami superstar won't play in Wednesday's Leagues Cup quarterfinal match against Tigres UANL due to a “minor" muscle injury.

Inter Miami will face Liga MX side Tigres with a ticket to the 2025 Leagues Cup semifinals on the line, but they’ll have to do so without their best player: Lionel Messi. Messi made his return from a minor muscle injury with a goal and an assist in 45 minutes played in Miami’s victory over LA Galaxy last weekend.
