Inter Miami had an easy time of it in the quarterfinals, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Charlotte. Messi added an essentially meaningless goal in the final minutes. This is a team that’s suddenly playing with a lot more confidence now that one of the world’s best players is in the lineup, and the squad has scored three or more goals in all but one of its Leagues Cup matches thus far.
Philadelphia got through to the semifinals on a late goal from Chris Donovan in the 10th minute of stoppage time, resulting in a 2-1 victory over Mexico’s Querétaro side. Prior to that, Philadelphia won two straight on penalty kicks after a pair of low-scoring games. Defense has been the main strength for the team in this tournament, though Philadelphia also has one of the best goal differential margins in MLS, where it’s currently in third place in the Eastern Conference.
