Inter Miami defeated a Hong Kong select team in a match that saw fierce competition in the first half, much to the delight of local fans who filled the stadium to witness Argentine Leo Messi and Uruguayan Luis Suárez. However, both stars remained on the bench, leading to disappointment among the eager spectators. With all forty thousand seats sold out, Inter Miami aimed to secure its first victory in this preseason tour after drawing against El Salvador and facing defeats against Dallas, Al Hilal, and Al-Nassr, the latter two in Saudi Arabia.

Messi and Suárez, alongside Spaniards Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba on the bench, watched as their team struggled in the initial minutes, with the Hong Kong select team applying high pressure and intensity, resulting in several opportunities.

At the 40th minute, Robert Taylor opened the scoring for the American team with a shot from the edge of the box, but their joy was short-lived as Anier took advantage of an error by Argentine 'Toto' Avilés to equalize just before halftime.

In the second half, Inter Miami scored two goals in a span of five minutes (50th to 55th), sealing the victory. The first came from a corner kick that Lawson Sunderland converted easily, and the second from a left-footed shot by Ecuadorian Leonardo Campana inside the box.

With a comfortable lead, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, Inter Miami's coach, brought on Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. Shortly after entering the field, Alba had an opportunity for the fourth goal, but his shot was cleared by a local defender.

Five minutes before the end, Sailor completed the rout with a header at the near post that found the net. The match concluded with some jeers from disappointed local fans who missed the chance to see their idols on the American team play.
