Lionel Messi saved his team Inter Miami from suffering their first defeat in the MLS this season against New York City.
The flea participated in the starting lineup in the match that was played at Chase Stadium, and ended in a 2-2 draw.
Inter Miami took the lead through Thomas Aviles in the fifth minute, then New York City equalized through Meta Ilinc in the 26th minute and took the lead in the 55th minute through Alonso Martinez.
The score remained this way until the last minute, specifically the tenth minute of stoppage time, when Messi intervened and saved his team.
The Argentine international created the equalizing goal that came through Talisco Segovia, in the match that witnessed the participation of Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez and Sergio Busquets.
This assist is Messi’s second goal contribution this season after his goal against Kansas City in the round of 32 of the CONCACAF Champions League last week.
