With Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has to accept the first season loss.
Superstar Lionel Messi and Inter Miami have received the first defeat of the season. After nine games without bankruptcy, the Florida team lost 0-1 (0-0) in the quarter-final first leg of the Concafac Champions Cup at MLS-Rivale Los Angeles FC. The second duel is coming up in a week.
Nathan Ordaz (57th) scored the only goal of the encounter before the eyes of basketball star Stephen Curry and inter-fellow owner David Beckham. Messi was back in the starting eleven since his injury break and stormed next to his buddy Luis Suárez, but the Argentine world champion remained pale.
With his comeback last Sunday, the eight -time world football player hit only two minutes after his substitution. With Miami, Messi leads the Eastern Conference of the MLS after five games.
