Messi “failed to score” for the second consecutive match for Inter Miami when he failed to score or assist in the match against New York City on the morning of September 22.
On the morning of September 22 (Vietnam time), Inter Miami will visit New York City FC’s Yankee Stadium in round 30 of MLS 2024.
Before the match, coach Gerardo Martino’s team faced many challenges, as they had never won when playing at this stadium. However, the return of Lionel Messi and the presence of stars such as Luis Suarez and Jordi Alba brought hope to the fans.
However, Inter Miami had many difficulties against the disciplined and difficult play of New York City FC. Messi still tried but could not make a difference. It was not until the second half that Messi’s team opened the scoring when Leonardo Campana scored with a gentle tap-in.
However, Inter Miami could not preserve the victory when in the final minutes of stoppage time, New York City FC took advantage of a corner kick and James Sands jumped high to head the ball home for the home team.
Thus, Messi had a second consecutive match without scoring or assisting for Inter Miami. Before that, he only played 29 minutes in Inter Miami’s 2-2 draw with Atlanta United.
