When do Inter Miami play next in Leagues Cup?
Reigning champions Inter Miami booked their place in the knockout stages after finishing second in Group N. They beat Mexican side Puebla in the first game, before losing to Tigres UANL in their second fixture.
They were then paired with Group J winners Toronto FC for their Round of 32 game. Inter Miami will take on Toronto on Thursday, August 8. Kick-off at Chase Stadium is set for 7:30pm ET / 4:30pm PT.
The two teams met in MLS last month and in-form Miami picked up a comfortable 3-1 win with a depleted squad. The Herons were without Sergio Busquets and Lionel Messi, while Luis Suarez was only able to feature off the bench having recently returned from Copa America. Nevertheless, a brace from Federico Redondo and one from Diego Gomez was enough to win Miami the three points.
