Inter Miami secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Sporting KC in a highly anticipated match. The game was filled with excitement and drama as both teams fought hard to secure the win. Inter Miami showed great determination and skill throughout the game, with their attacking players putting on an impressive display of talent.
The first half saw both teams trading blows, but it was Inter Miami who took the lead with a well-taken goal. Sporting KC responded quickly, leveling the score before halftime. The second half saw even more action, with both teams pushing for the win.
True to form, Messi more than lived up to his superstar billing on Matchday 9.
The Argentine legend first assisted 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.
Although Sporting KC’s 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.
