Mahomes was amazed by Messi’s great goal in Inter Miami’s victory

Lionel Messi This Saturday he pulled off a great goal in his hat to the Inter Miami will be back 2-3 to Sporting Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs from a Patrick Mahomes who won’t want to miss this colorful MLS match. Luis Suárez and Diego Gómez scored the other two goals for the Florida team, who have not had a perfect night since Jordi Alba was injured in the final period and had to leave the match.

To welcome Messi and company, Sporting Kansas City went from the Children’s Mercy Park stadium, which has a capacity for about 18,500 spectators, to the massive Arrowhead Stadium, where tonight there was a fantastic atmosphere in the stands with 72,610 spectators. Mahomes, who in this area has become a true legend of the NFL (three-time Super Bowl champion), attended as a spectator and congratulated Messi first. The Chiefs’ brilliant quarterback is an interested party in this game because he is a shareholder in Sporting Kansas City.

This victory broke Inter Miami’s worrying streak, which was five straight games without a win in all competitions (three losses and two draws). He also regained his spirit after being eliminated this week in the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Champions Cup at the hands of Monterrey.

Failures to start from behind are a very serious problem for Inter Miami and in Kansas City, Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino’s team stumbled again on the same rock. Argentine ‘Chelo’ Weigandt made a fatal mistake on the right wing, Tim Leibold stole his wallet and opened the wing for Erik Thommy to open the scoring in the 6th minute with a beautiful shot. It took 12 minutes for Inter Miami to equalize and they did so through Messi, who found himself between the lines and left Gómez alone to put the ball into the net.

Rosario’s genius warned the locals with a direct free kick that missed the goal by millimeters, but his masterpiece came after the break (1-1 at half-time). Carelessly, Sporting Kansas City left Messi on the front line, who received the ball, stood up and unleashed an impressive shot in the 51st minute that thundered through Arrowhead.

His joy was short-lived, as seven minutes later Thommy rounded off his double with a rebound from a corner which the German latched onto in spectacular fashion to score a second after hitting the post. The game entered a back-and-forth stretch and that’s when the team in pink was defined, taking advantage of an error by Sporting Kansas City’s defense.

Jake Davis fell asleep on the right wing, Gómez kept the ball and the Paraguayan provided the perfect assist for Suárez to push in the 71st minute Alba’s injury was the cross for Inter Miami, who, however, had good news on the return Benjamin Cremaschi who has not made his debut this season due to a hernia.
