Liga MX team CF Monterrey gained a comeback 2-1 victory over Inter Miami in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal series at Chase Stadium.

Miami played their fourth straight match across all competitions without superstar Lionel Messi due to a hamstring injury.

The host team went ahead in the 19th minute through center-back Tomas Aviles. He redirected home Julian Gressel’s corner kick and gave Miami a 1-0 advantage.

But CF Monterrey turned the table in the 65thminute when Inter Miami midfielder David Ruiz received a red card for his second bookable foul.

The Honduran international will miss Leg 2 at Monterrey’s Estadio BBVA on April 10 to decide who will meet the Herediano-Pachuca match winner in the semifinals.

Just four minutes after the red card incident, Monterrey leveled the score when Maxi Meza cleaned up Drake Callender’s save at the back post.

Then midfielder Jorge Rodrigez scored the winning goal in the 89th minute after Miami failed to clear its lines.

It isn’t yet clear when Messi will return as Inter Miami must score at least two goals away in Mexico. Miami will also play against Colorado on Saturday in an MLS match.

Messi hasn’t played since March 13 and missed Argentina’s friendly matches against El Salvador and Costa Rica last month.
