LA Galaxy 1-1 Inter Miami: Messi To The Rescue As Super Eagles Stumble in Los Angeles Against Los Galácticos
Written by Patrick Echatah
In the 92nd minute of Inter Miami CF’s 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy on Sunday night, the legendary No. 10 equalised for the team, his first goal of the 2024 Major League Soccer season.

Half of the team’s Big Four and former FC Barcelona stars Messi and Jordi Alba teamed skillfully down the left flank, as they have so frequently done throughout their remarkable careers.
Alba saw an opening and found Messi for a sliding finish that nullified Dejan Joveljic’s initial goal in the 75th minute.
Inter Miami’s record after their captain’s flash of genius is now 1W-0L-1D for the year. They defeated Real Salt Lake 2-0 at home on Wednesday before making the long trip across the nation to take against LA’s revamped offence, which features Joveljic, Riqui Puig, Joseph Paintsil, and Gabriel Pec.
Drake Callender, the goalkeeper of Inter Miami, was undoubtedly the star of the show until Messi opened his ledger. He made eight stops, including stopping Puig’s first-half penalty kick.
