Football superstar Lionel Messi led Inter Miami with an art shot for the first victory at the club World Cup in the USA. The world champion provided 2-1 (0: 1) in the second group game in Atlanta against the top club FC Porto in the second group game in Atlanta. At the start, Miami had only been a goalless draw against Al-Nahry from Cairo.
The Spaniard Samu (8th minute) had put Porto in the lead by penalty early, shortly after the change of sides, Telasco Segovia (47th) managed to compensate for Miami. Then the exceptional cloak struck: Messi circulated from a distance of around 20 meters and central position with his strong left foot over the wall into the opposing goal.
At the group's end on Tuesday against the Brazilian club Palmeiras São Paulo, Miami has a good chance of the round of 16 of the new XXL tournament.
Long interruption at Palmeiras against Al-Nahry
During the game between Palmeiras São Paulo and Al-Nahry (2-0) in East Rutherford, an almost one-hour interruption due to an impending storm had previously occurred. The English referee Anthony Taylor sent both teams to the cabins at 2-0. The fans were also asked to go into the interior.
However, the impending thunderstorm passed the Metlife stage, in which the Football World Cup finished next year. So it was possible to continue playing after around 50 minutes. The game between RB Salzburg and CF Pachuca had already been interrupted for 99 minutes due to a storm.
