Inter Miami stayed alive in Leagues Cup play with a late comeback against Necaxa on Saturday night. Inter Miami picked up two of a possible three points on Saturday night with a shootout win after a 2–2 draw through 90 minutes against Liga MX’s Necaxa in both teams’ second match of the 2025 Leagues Cup.

That set the stage for Rocco Ríos Novo – the ‘keeper thrust into the lineup by a recent injury to Oscar Ustari – to make the difference in the penalty shootout, saving Badaloni’s spot kick while the Herons went a perfect five-for-five from the mark to deliver two points that could prove massive in the race for the quarterfinals.
