Argentine star Lionel Messi scored his first goal in the NFL, after coming on as a substitute, to contribute to Inter Miami’s 2-0 victory at New York Red Bulls, in front of an enthusiastic crowd, last night.
Messi, who went down in the 60th minute, hit the empty goal, after exchanging the ball with Benjamin Karimachi.
This is the 11th goal for the Argentine star in all competitions since joining Miami on July 15, and Miami achieved its first victory in the competition since May 13, according to Reuters.
Before Messi’s arrival, Inter Miami lost 14 matches and won only 6 matches, compared to 3 draws in the league, to remain in the penultimate position in the eastern section.
Messi did not conduct warm-up exercises, but the fans chanted his name in the first minutes, and this was repeated in the 35th minute, before newcomer Diego Gomez scored the first goal.
