Inter Miami defeated Nashville 2-2 on the road in the first leg. Inter Miami, led by Messi, enjoyed a commanding lead over Nashville into the second match. Messi had a terrific opportunity in the Nashville penalty area in the eighth minute, but his effort went over the crossbar.
But just 2 minutes later, Messi had a great pass for Luis Suarez to break the offside trap and shoot past goalkeeper Joe Willis (Nashville) to score the opening goal 1-0 for Inter Miami.
