Miami went on to defeat Mexican side Cruz Azul 2-1 after Messi’s free-kick goal in the last minutes game.
Ednews informs via AlJazeera that Lionel Messi made a dream start to his latest football chapter in America, scoring a last-second winner with a curling free-kick in his debut game for Inter Miami, lifting his new team to a 2-1 victory over Cruz Azul in both teams’ Leagues Cup opener.
Miami, which brought Messi off the bench because he’s only had three full training sessions with the team so far, was outplayed on Friday at times by the Mexican visitors in the match at Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
