- Inter Miami won 2-1 at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, advancing despite Lionel Messi being ruled out with ongoing muscle discomfort and his status for the semifinal uncertain.
- Head coach Javier Mascherano was sent off at halftime and will be suspended from the touchline for the semifinal, with TV showing him apparently communicating from the stands during the match.
