Inter Miami in Leagues Cup 2024

Inter Miami will host Toronto in the Round of 32 after closing out the Leagues Cup 2024 group stage sitting second in the Group East 3 standings. The team registered a win and a loss in the group stage, defeating Club Puebla 0-2 and most recently falling 2-1 against Tigres in its past game.

Despite the adverse result against Tigres, the match saw forward Leonardo Campana make Club history. By scoring the team's only goal on the night converting from the spot, he tied former striker Gonzalo HiguaĆ­n as the Club's all-time leading scorer with 29 goals across all competitions.

Campana reached 29 strikes in 89 appearances for Inter Miami by netting 25 times in MLS action, three times in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and once in the Leagues Cup.
