Messi was in midseason form, darting through and around defenders, almost giving the sellout crowd what they wanted to see by nearly scoring on a free kick and then a corner kick midway through the first half.
"I think the eyes of the world are on Inter Miami, and I'm hoping that they're able to deliver on that and whatever expectations people have," said MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who was at Wednesday's match. "Mostly, I'd just like his experience to be good, the experience of the team to be successful, how they're positioned both here in the league but also around the world. That's the story that I think is most important to us."
In the 28th minute, Nelson Palacio took a shot from far outside the box and had it blocked.
On Real’s next attack, Chicho Arango took a shot that sailed just high.
In the 39th minute, Inter Miami got on the board with a heater off the foot of Robert Taylor. Messi assisted on the opening goal for Miami.
RSL goalkeeper Zac MacMath got his hands on the shot but it trickled past him into the bottom left corner.
Real Salt Lake made the MLS Cup Playoffs as the fifth seed in the West with a record of 14-12-8.
Despite getting bounced in the first round by Houston, there was a lot of hope for RSL’s future as young pieces and new additions get more time on the pitch.
