AI SummaryHow It Unfolded
Inter Miami II stormed into a three-goal lead inside 32 minutes. Rey opened the scoring in the 13th minute, finishing from T. Vorenkamp's delivery, then doubled the advantage in the 25th minute with C. Abadia-Reda providing the assist. Rey turned provider in the 32nd minute, teeing up M. Acevedo to make it 3-0.
New England II pulled one back before the break. M. Morgan volleyed home C. Oliveira's cross in the 43rd minute to send the sides in at 3-1.
The second half began with A. Prajapati booked for the visitors inside three minutes. Inter Miami made a triple substitution on 69 minutes, withdrawing Rey, Abadia-Reda and Acevedo — yet the changes did not disrupt their rhythm. M. Jean Baptiste headed in J. Mussenden's delivery in the 71st minute to restore the three-goal cushion. Within a minute, I. Zeltzer-Zubida added a fifth — or so it seemed. The provider data records a goal for Zeltzer-Zubida at 72 minutes, assisted by A. Flores.
New England II kept pushing but could not close the gap further than 4-2.
The Turning Point
Inter Miami's triple substitution on 69 minutes could have unsettled their flow, but instead Jean Baptiste scored within two minutes of coming on. The quickfire 71st-minute goal killed any prospect of a New England revival after the visitors had shown signs of building pressure early in the second half.
Key Performers
- D. Rey — Two goals (13', 25') and an assist for Acevedo's strike. Involved in three of Inter Miami's four goals before being substituted on 69 minutes. Player of the match.
- M. Jean Baptiste — Introduced in the 69th-minute triple change and scored within two minutes, the decisive fourth goal.
- M. Morgan — Scored New England's first-half lifeline in the 43rd minute, a well-taken finish from Oliveira's cross.
- I. Zeltzer-Zubida — Came off the bench and scored within three minutes, adding the final goal in the 72nd minute.
By the Numbers — Interpreted
Inter Miami II scored four goals from seven known attempts on target, while the scoreline shows a 4-2 final that flatters the margin somewhat less than the 3-0 lead suggests. New England's first-half response (43rd minute) showed resilience, but they could not sustain it after the interval. The only booking of the match — Prajapati's 48th-minute yellow — indicates a contest that was competitive without boiling over.
What It Means
The win improves Inter Miami II's record in MLS Next Pro. New England Revolution II entered the match positioned around third in the Eastern Conference (per pre-match standings), so this result represents a notable scalp for the home side. The head-to-head remains lopsided — New England have won eight of ten meetings — but Inter Miami have now claimed two of the last six.
Inter Miami II's next fixture is TBC. New England Revolution II will look to bounce back in their upcoming match.
Verdict
Inter Miami II were ruthlessly efficient in the first half and clinically decisive from the bench in the second. D. Rey's all-round performance — scorer, creator, then rested with the job done — set the tone for a deserved home victory. New England's unbeaten run in the fixture ends at four.
