A battle between teams from different spectrums of the Eastern Conference table

After bowing out from the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-finals on aggregate against Mexican side Club de Fútbol Monterrey, Inter Miami returned to business in Major League Soccer. The Herons played in front of 72,610 spectators at the Arrowhead Stadium to win 3-2 against Sporting Kansas City. Gerardo Martino’s team currently is in the leading spot of the Eastern Conference table.

The soccer team based in Tennessee is on a different end of the table. In the same Conference table where Nashville SC finished 7th in 2023 now we find them in 14th place. Only the New England Revolution are having a poor season in the MLS Eastern Conference than them. The Boys in Gold will travel to Florida after a 2-1 home defeat to Philadelphia Union.
