In an exciting MLS match held at the BMO Stadium, Los Angeles, Inter Miami defeated Los Angeles 3-1. Powered by the brilliance of Lionel Messi who provided the assists for two goals, Inter Miami was able to score a deserved victory, according to the buzz in the bleachers and around the social media world.

Facundo Farias put Inter Miami ahead in the 14th minute with a first-time sliding finish that sneaked inside the far post. Messi then found Jordi Alba in acres of space in the 51st minute, who calmly doubled the lead for Miami. To finish off the defending champs, Messi then set up Leonardo Campana in the 83rd minute. Even though Ryan Hollingshead scored a consolation goal for Los Angeles in the 90th minute assisted by Carlos Vela, the game was already out of their reach.

Despite the loss, Los Angeles fans were able to enjoy a superior display of football, with many even arguing that this particular game was more entertaining than many English Premier League matches. The LA supporters section received praise for providing an ideal display of MLS fan culture. Conversely, Inter Miami garnered some fresh fans for their improvements in the game, especially the performances of Kamal Miller and Drake Callender.

Speaking of Messi, he seems to be enjoying his time in the MLS and fans seem to be loving it as well. His engaged and happy demeanor on the pitch seems to have left an impression on many spectators, suggesting he is rejuvenated playing for Inter Miami. There were also some notable appearances from celebrities like Selena Gomez and Prince Harry, adding to the glamour of the event.

Some fans were not too pleased with the performance of referee Ted Unkel, however, with calls for him to manage the game more effectively. Despite a strong performance, Denis Bouanga’s attitude and temperament were questioned following an angry confrontation with Carlos Vela early in the match.

Next, Los Angeles will face Portland Timbers on September 10th, while Inter Miami will go up against Sporting KC on September 9th.
