Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez gave their teammates the opportunity to score in Inter Miami’s 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake, the opening match of the 2024 American Professional League (MLS).
Lionel Messi had his first assist in this 2024 MLS season when he was the main factor in helping Inter Miami take the lead against Real Salt Lake.
Lionel Messi wrote his name on the scoreboard with an assist to help Inter Miami take the lead against Real Salt Lake in the opening match of the 2024 MLS season today, February 22 (Vietnam time).
The Argentina captain passed the ball accurately to Taylor. The Finnish international was not in a very good shooting angle, it could even be said to be very narrow towards the away team’s goal, but his bold decision to shoot unexpectedly brought in a goal that broke the deadlock for pink shirt team. Taylor found the goal after Zac MacMath made an unbelievable error in Real Salt Lake’s goal.The match against Real Salt Lake was Lionel Messi’s seventh in MLS since he moved to Herons. Currently El Pulga has one goal and three assists.
Messi’s assist quickly became “viral” across social networking platform X (formerly Twitter) when fans were not too satisfied.
“That goalkeeper helped me feel better and know that I was capable of playing professionally.”
“Messi – 1 match – 1 assist – and that’s how it all started.”
“The goalkeeper is impressive, an orange could do better.”
“Are the players instructed to let Inter Miami score no matter how bad the situation is?”
It can be seen that most of the comments from fans below MLS’s post were upset and confused by the goal that Robert Taylor scored after Messi’s pass. The match then ended with a 2-0 victory for Messi and his teammates.
Whether Messi can lead the team to a play-off spot this season remains to be seen.
