With the presence of Lionel Messi and 2 former teammates at Barcelona – Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in the starting lineup, Inter Miami is confident to win all 3 points in the confrontation with Nashville.
They entered the game actively, taking complete control of the ball and forcing the opponent to cluster in defense in the home field. However, Nashville seems to have carefully studied Inter Miami’s play.
Messi went through a difficult 90 minutes.
They blocked most of the spearheads of the home team, so even though Inter Miami created an overwhelming game, the most important thing was that the goal had not yet come.
In a day Messi could not make a difference, David Beckham’s team was held to a draw at the DRV PNK stadium. With this result, they continue to be at the bottom of the MLS rankings, 10 points away from the play-offs group.
