Former Inter Miami player Lewis Morgan delivered a stunning hat-trick as New York Red Bulls secured a dominant 4-0 victory against the Lionel Messi-less Miami side.
Morgan, who was traded to New York Red Bulls in 2021, displayed exceptional performance against his former team, scoring three goals and setting up another. The defeat marked another disappointment for Inter Miami, whose defense struggled to contain the Red Bulls’ attack.
Despite missing Messi, Inter Miami’s defensive woes persisted, conceding an early goal within three minutes of the match. Morgan’s brace in the 51st and 70th minutes, along with his assist for Wiki Carmona’s goal, sealed the victory for New York Red Bulls.
Inter Miami’s midfield also faced criticism for their inability to cope with the Red Bulls’ pressing game. The loss highlighted the need for a bounce-back performance from Inter Miami in their upcoming match against New York City FC on March 30.
Morgan’s outstanding performance underscored the importance of responsible trading decisions and player management in professional sports. His revenge against his former club served as a reminder of the unpredictability of sports and the significance of maintaining focus and discipline on the field.
Despite the defeat, Inter Miami has an opportunity to regroup and strategize for their future matches, including the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final against CF Monterrey on April 3.
Overall, the match emphasized the importance of resilience and adaptability in sports, as well as the need for responsible trading practices and effective team management.
