Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Inter Miami successfully defeated host Los Angeles FC with a score of 3-1 at BMO Stadium, Monday (4/9) WIB. Lionel Messi scored two assists in this game.
Inter Miami managed to score the first goal in the 11th minute through Facundo Farias. This goal came from an attack that was arranged on the right side.
Tomas Aviles saw a gap in the back line of Los Angeles FC. The attention of the Los Angeles defenders was directed at Messi, who was still outside the penalty box.
Taviles’ bait was then successfully received by Farias. While dropping himself, Farias fired a cross shot from a fairly narrow angle. The ball had touched the goalpost before finally going in.
After winning 1-0 in the first half, Inter Miami continued to push in the second half. Los Angeles FC, which is playing at home, continues to try to present an open game in search of an equalizer.
Inter Miami again managed to score a goal at the start of the second half, in the 51st minute to be precise. Messi carefully watched Jordi Alba’s actions overlap.
Messi sent a through ball and made Jordi Alba stand free in front of the Los Angeles FC goalkeeper, John McCarthy. Alba coolly opened fire to score Inter Miami’s second goal of the match.
After this goal, Giorgio Chiellini asked to be withdrawn due to a problem with his foot.
Two goals ahead, Inter Miami is even more enthusiastic about pressing Los Angeles FC. The third goal then came in the 11th minute.
Messi, who took advantage of the Los Angeles FC back line error, got the ball in the middle of the field. He immediately ran fast toward the penalty box.
Messi was overshadowed by Timothy Tillmann and had a chance to make a move that tricked Tillmann. Messi then decided to pass the ball to Campana who was in an open position on his right.
Campana who got the ball did not waste the opportunity. Through his left foot kick, Campana sent the ball into the goal.
Los Angeles FC had reduced the position to 1-3 in the 90th minute. Ryan Hollingshead managed to head the ball into the net.
