Rookie Federico Redondo scores first two goals, sparks Inter Miami to 3-1 victory over Toronto
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Rookie Federico Redondo scored the first two goals of his career in the second half after assisting on a first-half score by Diego Gómez and Inter Miami posted a 3-1 victory over Toronto FC on Wednesday night.
Neither team scored until Redondo fed Gómez for a goal in the 43rd minute to give Inter Miami (15-4-5) a 1-0 lead at halftime. It was the third goal for Gómez and the third assist for Redondo.
Redondo’s goals came in a six-minute span. The 21-year-old midfielder used an assist from defender Julian Gressel in the 53rd minute to forge a two-goal lead and found the net again — off passes from Gómez and Gressel — in the 59th to make it 3-0. Gómez has six assists this season, while Gressel has 12. Gressel has an assist in five straight matches. He and Lionel Messi are the second pair of teammates to pull off at least a five-match assist run in the same season in league history.
Toronto (8-14-3) avoided a shutout when Derrick Etienne Jr. scored in the 80th minute. Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty notched his third assist and Kosi Thompson picked up his first on Etienne’s third goal this season.
Drake Callendar finished with three saves in goal for Inter Miami, becoming the first player to make 100 appearances in club history. Striker Robert Taylor subbed in for Gómez in the 80th minute for his 100th appearance to make it a two-man club.
Sean Johnson saved two shots for Toronto.
Luis Suárez subbed into the match in the second half in his return to Inter Miami after playing in Copa America for Uruguay. Messi, who played in the event for Argentina, is out indefinitely after suffering a ligament injury in his right ankle in a victory over Colombia in the final.
Toronto stays on the road to play CF Montreal on Saturday. Inter Miami will host the Chicago Fire on Saturday.

Penn State had a successful Saturday, beating SMU in the College Football Playoff first round in convincing fashion. But not everything went the Nittany Lions’ way.
David Blay, one of Penn State’s top targets in the transfer portal, committed to Miami. The news was reported by on3 on Saturday afternoon.
In addition to Penn State and Miami, Blay was also being pursued by Florida State, Illinois, Oklahoma, USC, Wisconsin, Mississippi State and Arkansas.
Blay, a standout at Louisiana Tech who visited last weekend, was a top target for the Nittany Lions as they look to add depth and talent to their defensive line for the 2025 season.
Blay is a Levittown native who played at Harry S. Truman High School outside Philadelphia before going to West Chester to play at the Division II level in 2021 and 2022. Blay transferred to Louisiana Tech, where he was a first-team All-Conference USA selection this year.
Blay finished the 2024 season with 46 tackles, 10 1/2 tackles for loss and 6 1/2 sacks.
Penn State has addressed a couple needs in the portal so far in the winter window, earning commitments from USC wide receiver Kyron Hudson and Texas A&M defensive end Enai White. But the Nittany Lions would love to add a defensive tackle or two.
