Mays can't stop scoring! On Thursday morning (3), Inter-Miami defeated Orlando City 3-1 in the round of 32 of the North American League Cup, and the "King of the Ball" Mays scored two more goals to continue his momentum of scoring in every game since he landed in the U.S. professional league. Mays has scored 5 goals in 3 games for InterMiami, and is on his way to becoming the first North American champion.
The start of this knockout match was delayed due to rain, but the home fans were just as excited as the Spanish star Jordi Eiba, who carried his first jersey to meet the fans before the match. The focus of the game continued to be on Mays, who received a pass from Robert Taylor and scored in the opening seven minutes. Orlando City tied the game in the 17th minute, and the visitors' hard-hitting style of play was once too much for Mays, whose Argentinean striker received a yellow card for a tackle from behind in the 20th minute, and then hit the post with a shot in the 31st minute, leaving the game tied at 1-1 at halftime.
