On March 6, 2025, Inter Miami CF hosted Cavalier FC in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup Round of 16 at Chase Stadium. The match marked a significant test for Inter Miami, playing without star forward Lionel Messi, who was rested due to fatigue.

The first half saw Inter Miami controlling possession but struggling to break down Cavalier's defense. Midfielder Telasco Segovia played a pivotal role in maintaining midfield stability, completing 79% of his passes and contributing to both defensive recoveries and offensive transitions. ​

Cavalier FC posed threats on the counter, with a notable moment in first-half stoppage time when Shaquille Stein found the net. However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside.

Inter Miami broke the deadlock in the 61st minute when Tadeo Allende capitalized on a loose ball in the box, firing a left-footed shot through traffic to score.

The lead was doubled in the 83rd minute by Luis Suárez, who received a pass from Sergio Busquets and finished with a left-footed strike from 16 yards.

Segovia continued to anchor the midfield until his substitution in the 75th minute, ensuring Inter Miami maintained control and composure. ​

With this victory, Inter Miami takes a 2-0 advantage into the second leg in Kingston, Jamaica, scheduled for March 13.
