Match Action

Inter Miami II came out on the front foot, creating two dangerous opportunities in the opening minutes through Convers and Hall that required quick reactions from the Chattanooga goalkeeper.

After a well-worked buildup from the back, Morales received the ball out wide and whipped a dangerous delivery into the center of the box. Following a poor clearance from the visitors’ defense, Zeltzer-Zubida buried a loose ball outside the 18-yard box past the goalkeeper to put Inter Miami II ahead in the 21st minute.

The strike marked Zeltzer-Zubida’s sixth goal of the season and his third consecutive match finding the back of the net.
