The 36-year-old world champion came on as a 54th-minute substitute alongside recently signed Spanish world champion Sergio Busquets in the North American League Cup and knocked out his new team late to victory. In stoppage time, the Argentine converted a free kick and beat the Mexican club Cruz Azul with a score of 2:1.
This ended Messi, who was already wearing the captain’s armband, on a six-game losing streak at Inter Miami. In Major League Soccer (MLS), the club of co-owner David Beckham has not won for eleven games and is currently in last place in the Eastern Conference.
