Inter Miami draw 2-2 with Red Bull New York, failing to secure first win at new home.

Inter Miami's wait for a first win at Nu Stadium continues. They drew 2-2 with Red Bull New York, who came from behind to snatch a point.

A week after Messi's 1-1 draw with Austin FC, Miami's struggles at their new home persist, with New York's young squad getting a result.

New York struck early, silencing the home crowd in 15 minutes. Young striker Julian Hall caused chaos on the right, drawing two defenders before setting up Jorge Ruvalcalba for a low finish past Dayne St. Clair.

Miami levelled on the stroke of halftime when Mateo Silvetti finished from close range. They dominated after halftime, but dropped the lead twice.

Wow! 😱 Filthy connection from the young @NewYorkRedBulls.

Maxi Falcon blew a header wide, and Messi & Silvetti missed chances. Then Berterame put Miami ahead on 55 minutes.

Berterame collected a pass which deflected off New York's 17-year-old midfielder Adri Mehmeti and shot low to make it 2-1.

New York thought they had equalised midway through the half when Robert Voloder bundled in a low finish, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR review.

The New York equaliser finally arrived in the 77th minute, when a twisting, turning run inside the area from Hall tormented the Miami defence before he squared to fellow teenager Mehmeti, who slid to finish for 2-2.

Miami pressed furiously in the closing stages, and only a sensational diving save by Ethan Horvath prevented Messi from snatching a winner with a free kick in stoppage time.
