Inter Miami surrendered a first-half lead in a 1-1 draw at Toronto, denting their Supporters’ Shield chase. Tadeo Allende’s stoppage-time header opened the scoring, but Djordje Mihailovic equalised after the break. Messi twice tested Sean Johnson but couldn’t find the winner. Mascherano’s side looked leggy and lost control after halftime, allowing Toronto back into the match. Despite Messi’s constant threat, Miami failed to convert late chances and had to settle for one point, underlining concerns about their fading intensity in tight games.
