Messi brought joy: Inter Miami achieved a historic victory!

For North American football, June 19, 2024, became a truly historic date. The American club Inter Miami managed to defeat one of Europe’s famous grand clubs — Portugal’s Porto — with a score of 2:1 in a Club World Cup match.

With this achievement, Inter Miami became the first club in North American football history to defeat a professional European team in an official competition. This is a huge success not only for the club, but also for the entire MLS (Major League Soccer).

The match took place in America, in the second round of the group stage. Throughout the match, both teams played actively, but the decisive strike came from Lionel Messi. His precise and skillful free-kick goal brought victory to Inter Miami. This goal became the next masterpiece from the club’s biggest star.

With this success, Inter Miami created new history for MLS clubs. On the club’s official social media pages, the following lines were posted in honor of the win:
“An MLS club defeated a European club in an official tournament for the first time. The records continue. Go, Miami!”

After this victory, Inter Miami rose to second place in Group A with 4 points. In the first round, they recorded a draw, and now they have officially secured their first win. The remaining matches are expected to be very exciting. In the third round, Miami will face Brazil’s famous Palmeiras. In this match, the group situation could change dramatically.

Meanwhile, Porto will face Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli in the next round. For them, this match will be decisive, because a second defeat would severely decrease their chances of advancing from the group.

From his very first season, Messi’s impact on MLS has proven huge once again. His exemplary leadership and decisive goals are pushing Inter Miami to a new level.

North American football is no longer limited to the American market alone. Matches with European clubs and such victories will undoubtedly increase the prestige of MLS. In the future, this will attract even bigger players and clubs.
