Inter Miami Aims to Secure Champions Cup Spot Against Cavalier FC

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Inter Miami CF will continue its quest for the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup on Thursday, March 13, when the team faces Cavalier FC in the second leg of their Round of 16 series. The match at National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, is set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET.

Fans can watch the live broadcast in English on FS2 and in Spanish on TUDN and ViX+. Miami enters this matchup holding a 2-0 lead on aggregate following a hard-fought victory over Cavalier in the first leg.

Last Thursday, Miami secured a narrow 2-0 win at Chase Stadium, with Tadeo Allende and Luis Suárez each finding the net. Allende’s strike came in the 61st minute, taking advantage of a setup from Sergio Busquets, while Suárez extended the lead just before the end of the match.

The Herons are looking to extend their unbeaten streak to seven matches across all competitions, following their recent 1-0 victory against Charlotte FC on Sunday. Tadeo Allende has been instrumental, scoring in four consecutive matches, while Suárez has tallied three goals and four assists during this stretch.

Inter Miami needs just a draw in the second leg to secure a place in the quarterfinals. If Cavalier FC hopes to turn the tide, they must win by a margin of at least three goals to advance. A 0-0 or 1-1 draw, or any win, will see Miami progress. A 2-0 victory for Cavalier would lead to extra time and potentially penalties.

Inter Miami goalkeeper Óscar Ustari has established himself in the competition with two clean sheets this season, displaying a strong defensive front alongside his teammates, such as David Martínez, who has recorded significant defensive statistics.

Cavalier FC qualified for the Champions Cup as the 2024 Concacaf Caribbean Cup winners and also claimed the 2024 Jamaica Premier League title, showcasing their competitive edge against Miami. This match marks a crucial step for both clubs as they aim to advance in the prestigious tournament.
