Messi's Substitute Scores His First Goal in the American League

Lionel Messi scored his first goal in Major League Soccer after coming on as a substitute, contributing to "Inter Miami's" 2-0 victory against hosts "New York Red Bulls" in front of an enthusiastic crowd last night. Messi, who entered the game in the 60th minute, shot into an empty net after exchanging passes with Benjamin Cremaschi. This goal marks the 11th for the Argentine star in all competitions since joining Miami on July 15. Additionally, Miami secured its first win in the league since May 13. Before Messi's arrival, Inter Miami had lost 14 matches, winning only six and drawing three in the league, leaving them in second-to-last place in the Eastern Conference. Messi did not undergo a warm-up.
