Lionel Messi of Inter Miami delighted the crowd at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas with a stunning long-range goal, securing a 3-2 victory over Sporting Kansas City (SKC) in a Major League Soccer (MLS) match.
The term “golazo,” commonly used by Spanish commentators to describe spectacular goals, perfectly encapsulated Messi’s remarkable strike in the 51st minute, which gave Inter Miami a 2-1 lead after an SKC error.
The stadium erupted in cheers as the ball found the net, adding to the excitement of the 72,610 fans in attendance, the fourth-largest crowd in MLS history.
This victory not only ended Inter Miami’s five-game losing streak but also showcased Messi’s brilliance on the field, as he also assisted in Diego Gomez’s goal and set up former Barcelona teammate Luis Suarez for the winning goal.
