Lionel Messi delivered another stellar performance, opening the scoring with a breathtaking strike in the 19th minute, as Inter Miami triumphed 3-1 over Sporting Kansas City in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup first round on Tuesday night. The victory sealed a 4-1 aggregate win for Miami, propelling them into the round of 16, where they will face Jamaica Premier League champions Cavalier FC on March 6.
Messi, who also scored the lone goal in Miami’s 1-0 first-leg victory last Wednesday, continued to showcase his brilliance, setting the tone for the match. Luis Suárez and Tadeo Allende added to the scoreline, ensuring a dominant performance for the home side. Sporting Kansas City managed to pull one back through Memo Rodríguez, marking their first goal of 2025, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Miami’s commanding lead.
Fans will now eagerly await their clash with Cavalier FC as they aim to continue their CONCACAF Champions Cup journey.
