The defending champion still stands!
Inter Miami showed its character this Saturday. With a goal from Leo Messi, the Florida team beat D.C. 2-1. United in front of more than 72 thousand people in Baltimore.
The craze to see Messi was such that the game was moved to the huge Ravens stadium. And the Argentine star did not disappoint.
“Messi rewarded the fans who came to see him,” they highlighted from the field.
At 27 minutes, after a fine pass from Mateo Silvetti, Leo sneaked through the defensive back and beat the goalkeeper with a single touch. It was his third goal in this young season.
The final resistance was worth it
Rodrigo De Paul had opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a left footed shot from outside the area. The capital team scored late, but it was not enough to tie.
This victory comes after an intense week that included a visit to the White House. Now Inter Miami has two wins in a row after that difficult debut against Los Angeles FC.
With six points, Messi’s team is already looking up the table. Meanwhile, in another match, New York City FC beat Orlando City 5-0.
The winning mentality is being consolidated.
