Inter Miami defeated Nashville 2-2 away in the first leg. Inter Miami, led by Messi, enjoyed a commanding lead over Nashville in the second match. Messi had a great chance in Nashville’s box in the eighth minute, but his shot went over the crossbar.
But just 2 minutes later, Messi had a great pass for Luis Suarez to break the offside trap and shoot past goalkeeper Joe Willis (Nashville) to score the first goal 1-0 for Inter Miami.
