Following the intermission, Suarez extended their advantage in the 56th minute, capitalizing on a pass from Messi. Reguilon then scored his inaugural MLS goal in the 73rd minute, also assisted by Messi, before Messi himself found the net in the 75th minute, further solidifying Miami's lead. Although Emilio Aristizabal managed to score two goals for Toronto FC in the latter stages, reducing the deficit, it was not enough to alter the outcome.
