Before the match, coach Tata Martino affirmed: "Inter Miami must get used to playing without Messi more often. The match against Kansas City will be a test for the remaining players."

Although Messi is absent, Inter Miami still has two famous players Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, along with players who have been playing very well recently such as Campana, Facundo Farias, Yedlin or Miller...
The team chaired by former football legend David Beckham conceded an early goal in the 9th minute (Salloi opened the score 1-0 for Kansas City). But soon after that, they quickly regained control of the game to equalize 1-1. Striker Campana scored in the 25th minute from the 11m mark. At the end of the first half, Campana scored the second goal to help Inter Miami make a spectacular comeback to lead 2-1.
In the second half, midfielder Facundo Farias increased the score to 3-1 for Inter Miami in the 60th minute. In the two key goals to increase the score to 2-1 and 3-1 for Inter Miami, there were great contributions from two famous players Busquets and Jordi Alba. At the end of the match, Pulido reduced the score to 2-3 for Kansas City, but it was too late to be able to regain 1 point against Inter Miami.

With their second straight MLS win and fourth unbeaten run since Messi (3 wins, 1 draw), Inter Miami have significantly improved their chances of reaching the playoffs. Inter Miami are still ranked 14th in the Eastern Conference in 2023, but with 28 points from 26 matches, they are only six points behind ninth-placed (playoff-placed) DC United, with two games in hand.
Messi is suffering from fatigue and physical damage after Argentina's 1-0 win over Ecuador on September 8. He is awaiting test results to see if he is fit to play in the next match against Bolivia on September 13.
