MIAMI (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – Lionel Messi, at 38, scored his 900th career goal, but it was a bitter night for the Argentine champion, with Inter Miami eliminated in the round of 16 of the Concacaf Champions Cup. At Chase Stadium, the game finished 1-1 against Nashville, who, thanks to the 0-0 first leg, advanced to the next round.
Messi did his part, breaking the deadlock after seven minutes: Reguilon played the ball into the middle, the Argentine controlled the ball in the box and crossed with his left foot, beating the opposing goalkeeper. Mascherano’s team dominated but failed to double their lead. In the second half, Nashville grew in strength and, in the 74th minute, with a bit of luck, Espinoza equalized, securing their advancement, since the away goals rule still applies in Concacaf competitions.
