Nu Stadium, Miami — Inter Miami’s hopes of securing a first victory at home frustrated once more on Saturday after Red Bull New York came from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw.
New York quieted the home crowd after just 15 minutes, when superb work from 18-year-old striker Julian Hall down the right stretched the Miami defence.

Hall dragged away two defenders before squaring for an unmarked Jorge Ruvalcalba, who swept a low finish beneath Miami goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair.
Miami looked to be taking control after half-time, and defender Maxi Falcon should have made it 2-1 but sent a free header wide of the post from De Paul’s corner.
Messi and Silvetti both had chances to go begging before Miami took the lead on 55 minutes through Argentine-born Mexico international forward German Berterame.
New York thought they had equalised midway through the half when Robert Voloder bundled in a low finish, only for the goal to be ruled out for offside after a VAR review.
Red Bulls equaliser finally arrived in the 77th minute, when a twisting, turning run inside the area from Hall tormented the Miami defence before he squared to fellow teenager Mehmeti, who slid to finish for 2-2.
Miami pressed furiously in the closing stages, and only a sensational diving save by Ethan Horvath prevented Messi from snatching a winner with a free kick in stoppage time.
In Eastern Conference standings leaves third-place, four points behind leaders Nashville, 2-1 winners over Charlotte on Saturday.
