Inter Miami CF Player Ratings
- Lionel Messi (9/10): Now, Messi, he’s a big name, right? Folks expected him to bring his A-game, and he didn’t disappoint. Scored that crucial first goal and was runnin’ circles around Vancouver’s defense like it was a Sunday stroll. Him havin’ the ball gave Miami a good upper hand from the get-go.
- Jordi Alba (8/10): Alba wasn’t just standin’ around, no sir. He got that assist over to Taylor, and it was a sharp one, let me tell ya. Now, Taylor had to do some work to finish it off, but credit’s due for Alba makin’ that pass happen in the first place.
- Sergio Busquets (7/10): Busquets did his job just fine, movin’ the ball and gettin’ it where it needed to go, keepin’ it steady and keepin’ Miami ahead when things got tight. Not too flashy, but sometimes that’s all ya need.
- Drake Callender (6/10): The Miami goalkeeper did a decent job, though he did let in one goal from Vancouver. But he also had a few solid saves that kept the game on Miami’s side, so can’t knock him too hard for it.
Vancouver Whitecaps FC Player Ratings
- Brian White (7/10): This fella worked hard up there, even got himself a goal. Vancouver needed someone to step up, and White gave it his all, keepin’ their hopes alive a little longer.
- Ryan Gauld (6/10): Now, Gauld had his moments, tryin’ to push through Miami’s defenses, but it wasn’t his best day. Miami’s defense had his number, and he just couldn’t get through enough to change the game.
- Yohei Takaoka (5/10): Takaoka had a tough time guardin’ that net against Miami. He let two goals slip by, and it made things tough for Vancouver to bounce back. He made some saves here and there, but it wasn’t enough.
