Inter Miami's result was also fortunate when the remaining competitor, FC Cincinnati, unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home to Los Angeles FC. Thereby, Messi and his teammates still maintained the top position in the MLS with 65 points after 31 matches, maintaining a gap of more than 8 points over Columbus Crew (with 1 match left to play), and 9 points ahead of FC Cincinnati.
Messi helps Inter Miami overcome difficulties
Messi and Inter Miami had a lackluster first half, facing Charlotte FC, who played a tight game and were not afraid of collisions. However, with their strongest squad, Inter Miami controlled the game, creating many scoring opportunities. Messi had many early chances to score the opening goal, but either missed or finished inaccurately.
A shocking turning point for Inter Miami, when Swiderski unexpectedly scored the opening goal 1-0 for Charlotte FC in the 56th minute after a quick counterattack. At this point, Messi and his teammates had to make every effort to quickly find an equalizer, to bring the match to a new situation in their favor.
Messi's efforts helped Inter Miami quickly equalize the score 1-1 in the 66th minute after a stunning long-range shot from outside the box scored a spectacular goal. "You can't give Messi a second chance!", commented AS (Spain). After previously, this famous player had a similar situation, but his dangerous shot was successfully blocked by Charlotte FC defenders.
Inter Miami played poorly in the first half, before rising up near the end of the match.
After the equalizer, Messi helped Inter Miami players play an overwhelming attack against their opponents. They created many scoring opportunities, including a situation where midfielder Diego Gomez was tackled and fell in the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty after also checking VAR.
At the end of the match, Inter Miami attacked relentlessly, but at least two extremely good chances to score to increase the score were unfortunately missed by strikers Campana and Suarez. After the match, Messi was extremely angry and criticized the referees for not awarding a penalty to Inter Miami. The overly fierce reaction caused the 37-year-old player to receive a yellow card.
In the next match, Inter Miami will face Columbus Crew at 6:30 am on October 3 and Toronto FC (3 am on October 6), both away. If they win either of these matches, Messi and his teammates can soon be crowned champions of the Supporters' Shield (for the team with the best record after the MLS scoring round).
