Freezing Night, Messi’s Fiery Goal Seals 1-0 Win for Inter Miami in CONCACAF Clash

Lionel Messi braved freezing temperatures to net the sole goal, leading Inter Miami to a 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City in their weather-affected CONCACAF Champions Cup first-leg match. 

Messi found the back of the net from the right side of the box in the 56th minute, securing the win for Inter Miami on a bitterly cold Wednesday night during the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup’s opening round. 

The match, played on a hard and slippery pitch, saw both teams struggling to maintain rhythm throughout the game. A crowd of 15,178, wrapped in layers to shield themselves from the cold, witnessed the action at Children’s Mercy Park.
