Thunderstorms delayed Inter Miami’s Saturday night showdown with Atlanta United, pushing kickoff to nearly 9 PM — but the rain cleared just in time for players to warm up at 8:20. It was a heavyweight clash: Tata Martino, Miami’s former coach now leading Atlanta, faced his old team. Miami, riding high after a 7-1 rout of CF Montreal (thanks to Messi’s four goals), made only one lineup tweak — inserting 18-year-old Fricio Caicedo at left back. Atlanta rolled out their $17M new striker, Breel Embolo, making his MLS debut. Martino admitted stopping Messi is nearly impossible — even if you’ve seen him dominate at the World Cup. With Messi leading the Golden Boot race and Miami atop the league in goals, they’re still cruising in second in the East — while Atlanta, losers of their last game, tumbled to 13th.
