Lionel Messi once again proved his worth as the savior for Inter Miami, as he scored a crucial equalizer in stoppage time against the LA Galaxy. Throughout the evening, the Los Angeles team dominated the game, but Messi’s presence cannot be underestimated. With his eight Ballon d’Or titles, he showcased his exceptional skills when least expected.
In the dying moments of the match, the Argentine superstar leveled the score with a remarkable assist from his longtime friend and former Barcelona teammate, Jordi Alba. Their incredible chemistry was on full display, rescuing Inter Miami and securing a valuable point after being outplayed for the entire 90 minutes.
Although the Galaxy had the opportunity to take an early lead through a penalty kick awarded for a foul on Joseph Paintsil by Sergio Busquets, USMNT goalkeeper Drake Callender denied Riqui Puig’s attempt. Despite their dominant performance, the Galaxy only managed to find the back of the net in the 75th minute through Dejan Jovelic. However, their hopes were shattered in the final minutes.
The Galaxy controlled every aspect of the game, from defense to midfield, and into the attacking third. Yet, in a single moment, Inter Miami seized the opportunity they needed to turn the tide.
