Lassiter gave Inter Miami the lead just before halftime, taking a settling touch after receiving a pass from Indiana Vassilev and firing a left-footed shot past Tormenta goalkeeper Pablo Jara for his first goal since arriving in Miami via a trade with Houston Dynamo FC in December.

Robbie Robinson put the hosts in front, 2-0, two minutes into the second half. Robert Taylor intercepted Jara’s attempted pass to a defender and the ball caromed to Robinson, who took two quick touches before firing in from just outside the 18-yard box.

Robinson was sent off in the 65th minute for a scuffle with Tormenta defender Jake Dengler, with both players shown straight red cards.

Lassiter put the finishing touches on the win with a powerful run down the right and putting his shot that deflected off a Tormenta defender and off the crossbar before landing just over the goal line.

Kazaiah Sterling struck for a cosmetic goal two minutes from full time for Tormenta, slipping his shot past Miami goalkeeper
