You always remember your first. After a stoppage time game-winner in their first Florida Derby, that’s an understatement for this group of Lions.
In a matchup that has loomed for years, City took the long-awaited first meeting between its neighbors to the south in 2020 expansion side Inter Miami CF, with a 97th minute finish from captain Luis Nani deciding the match by a score of 2-1.
For Nani, playing in derby matches like Wednesday’s is nothing new with a storied career at Manchester United on his resume. In his return to the field after around nine months of rest, he looked true to form for the Lions, contributing to both of their goals in the contest.
