“I said we were in shit, and the only way we had to see the sun was to play, give everything for the result. They have to play, because football is a game and we have to play,” said Mascherano at the press conference after the Philadelphia game. “The result is the coach's responsibility, but we wanted to move the ball, that is the way to win the game. I tried to send that message, because it is the only way. We cannot worry about the result,” he added.

Inter Miami avoided defeat in Philadelphia by tracing a 0-2 and 1-3 with goals in the last minutes of Messi, direct fault, and the Venezuelan Telasco Segovia. The momentary 1-2 was the work of Tadeo Allende. Mascherano regretted that Philadelphia's third goal, scored by Baribo, arrived at the offside. “His third goal is out of play, I don't know what they are doing. It is very clear, we can't see it on the tablet, but in the side camera it is very clear,” he said.
