New York Red Bulls 0 - 2 Inter Miami (Aug-26-2023) Major League Soccer Highlights.mp4

All indications prior to tonight were that Lionel Messi would see minimal action, if any, in his first opportunity for MLS minutes with Inter Miami.

Yet with Inter Miami leading 1-0 on a Diego Gomez first-half goal, and the Red Bull Arena crowd begging to see the Argentine superstar, they would get their wish. Messi entered for over a half-hour of action, and his 89th minute goal sealed the win as the Herons topped the New York Red Bulls in Messi's MLS debut.
