Lionel Messi did not start his first match for Inter Miami in the Leagues Cup against Cruz Azul. He entered the match alongside Sergio Busquets and Josef Martinez early in the second half. The visitors equalized to make it 1-1 and it appeared to be destined for penalties before Messi did this...
Mazatlán was the only other team to earn three points last night, winning at Austin FC 3-1. Penalties were needed in the other matches which saw Orlando earn the bonus point at home against Houston and Charlotte earned the extra point on the road in Dallas.
León also earned the bonus point in Vancouver, but it was far from straightforward. It went through 19 rounds in the shootout and the visitors took the extra point 16-15.
