| Team | Score |

| Inter Miami | 3 |
| Orlando City | 1 |
Inter Miami, led by Javier Mascherano, reached the semifinal after eliminating Tigres in a dramatic penalty shootout (2-0). However, their recent MLS form has been inconsistent, with a 1-1 draw against D.C. United leaving them in sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Messi, Luis Suárez, and Sergio Busquets will be crucial in their bid to reach another international final.
On the other hand, Orlando City, managed by Óscar Pareja, comes into this match after knocking out Toluca in the quarterfinals. Despite that success, their MLS campaign took a hit after a heavy 5-1 loss against Nashville, where Luis Muriel was sent off. Still, the Lions sit slightly above Inter Miami in the standings, making this clash even more balanced and unpredictable.
