Inter Miami, led by Lionel Messi, faces Los Angeles FC in the MLS regular season on Sunday, September 3, 2023 (9/3/23) at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Inter Miami failed to score for the first time since Lionel Messi joined the team, playing a scoreless draw with Nashville on Wednesday night.
Miami had won its previous nine matches as Messi’s addition gave the team an immediate boost. He has scored 11 goals, including three multi-goal performances. Messi started the game Wednesday along with Busquets after the two entered Miami’s previous match against the New York Red Bulls in the 60th minute.
Still, Inter Miami fans took out their phones to record the free kick, just in case the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner delivered another goal similar to the one in his debut — when he scored in the 94th minute to give Miami a win over Mexico’s Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup opener.Messi got another chance in the 83rd minute, but the shot bounced off the wall of defenders.
“I think when you put many players close to your own goal, normally you’re going to have a good chance at keeping a clean sheet,” Martino said. The two teams met 10 days ago in the Leagues Cup final. Messi scored early in regulation and converted the first shot in penalty kicks, and Miami won after an 11-round penalty kicks shootout for its first ever trophy.
