Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi opened his 2025 goal tally in style, scoring the decisive goal in his team’s 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City in the Concacaf Champions Cup first-leg clash.
The match, held at Children’s Mercy Park in the early hours of Thursday (Nigerian time), saw Messi net the only goal in the 56th minute, securing a crucial advantage for his side ahead of the return leg.
The second-leg encounter is set for Wednesday, February 26, at Chase Stadium, where Inter Miami will look to seal their place in the next round.
Messi’s strike marked his 851st career goal, further cementing his legacy as one of football’s greatest. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will now turn his focus to Inter Miami’s upcoming MLS fixture against New York City on Sunday.
