Everyone held up their side of the bargain. Everyone did their bit to mark the most anticipated match in for 16 years.Supporters paid through the nose for their seat at the show; Times Square reserved one of its giant screens to broadcast the action live; street sellers stocked up on hats and jerseys and fridge magnets. MLS, Apple and Adidas had all banged their heads together to make nights like this possible. Even New York Red Bulls rolled out the red carpet. For this visit of Inter Miami, the club opened the stadium early and turned up the volume with fireworks and a show by Run DMC.The only problem? Tata Martino was in no mood for a party. The Miami manager’s English is patchy at best but the chants which swept around Red Bull Arena needed no translation. ‘We want ,’ rang out from the sixth minute until shortly before the hour mark, when a record crowd finally got their wish and the 36-year-old emerged from the substitutes’ bench for his MLS debut.
