Lionel Messi scored the winning goal as Inter Miami came from behind to beat European side FC Porto in their second-round match at the FIFA Club World Cup.
Porto took the lead through Samu Omorodion in the first half. However, Inter Miami responded strongly after the break, with Telasco Segovia netting the equaliser before a stunning free kick from captain Lionel Messi secured all three points for the MLS side.
Speaking to DAZN after the match, Messi said:
“It was a great effort from the whole team. Not only did we defend, but we managed the ball well. We had a sour taste after the game against Al Ahly. This is a very important victory, and we’ll enjoy it.”
The result puts Inter Miami on the brink of qualification for the Round of 16.
