Khaberni - Inter Miami was crowned champion of the Eastern Conference in the American soccer league following their big victory over New York City with five goals to one, in a match that demonstrated the team's readiness to reach the league finals for the first time in its history.

Inter Miami gave a comprehensive display, dominating the proceedings and setting the pace from the first minute, benefiting from the team spirit and harmony that has become a hallmark of the team since the Argentine star joined.
