WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Their result Sunday evening marked their first loss across all competitions in 2024, and it came with a rotated XI due to fixture congestion with the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The Herons clashed last Thursday with Nashville SC in leg one of their series, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/inter-miami-player-ratings-nashville-sc-lionel-messi-luis-suarez/blt686a3a5f721f44fe" target="_blank">which they drew 2-2,</a> and with such a short turnaround period Tata Martino's hand was forced.</p><p>Alba's strike was the highlight of the day for Inter Miami, and it was Sergio Busquets's second-straight game with an assist in the 80th minute or later.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>It's leg two of the series with Nashville SC in the CONCACAF Champions Cup on Wednesday. With Messi being rested on Sunday, there's hope that by doing so he will be fit and eligible to play midweek in the clash. The Herons do, however, have an advantage heading into the tie and it's the two away goals they accumulated in leg one.</p>
