Inter Miami secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sporting KC in a highly anticipated match that showcased the team's resilience and determination. From the opening whistle, both teams displayed their attacking prowess, creating numerous scoring opportunities. However, it was Inter Miami who struck first with a goal from Gonzalo Higuain in the 17th minute. Sporting KC responded quickly with two goals of their own, putting them ahead 2-1 at halftime.
In the second half, Inter Miami showed their fighting spirit as they mounted a comeback. A stunning free-kick goal from Rodolfo Pizarro leveled the score before Higuain sealed the win with his second goal of the night in stoppage time. The victory was a testament to Inter Miami's never-say-die attitude and ability to perform under pressure.
True to form, Messi more than lived up to his superstar billing on Matchday 9.
Diego Gómez's equalizer that canceled out Erik Thommy's opener, before giving the Herons the 2-1 lead with a 51st-minute stunner. Luis Suárez added the second-half winner, ending Inter Miami's five-game winless streak across all competitions.
Messi’s assist in the first half was just as special: He saw teammate Diego Gomez making his move in the open field and delivered a pass behind the defense – just like Mahomes finds star tight end Travis Kelce behind linebackers in coverage on the same field.
 Erik Thommy opened the scoring in the sixth minute and tied the match at 2 in the 58th minute, it was Gomez who stole a ball on the left side and delivered a cross to Uruguayan striker Luis Suárez in the 71st minute to retake the lead.
Thommy’s goals were his second and third of the season — and first since opening day.
“I had to take the risk, on the corner,” Thommy said. “I had the confidence and had a good feeling.”
The crowd was 20,000 larger than the previous Sporting KC record set in 2010 during a friendly against Manchester United.
Messi was set to make his first start since March 2 and the game is being played at Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Chiefs. This is in an attempt to break the MLS attendance record.
Mahomes has been a part owner of Sporting KC since 2020 and is also part owner of the Kansas City Royals of MLB and the Kansas City Current of the NWSL. Sporting KC entered Saturdays game with a 3-4-1 record and sit in second in the Western Conference. Inter Miami is 3-3-3 and in third place in the Eastern Conference.
