Another step in Leo Messi’s goal of winning the first title in his adventure in the United States. Inter Miami was clearly superior to Charlotte in the Leagues Cup quarterfinal tie and is already two games away from lifting a trophy with the team led by David Beckham.
Messi achieved his eighth goal in this competition in five games against a rival with little bite. Barely twelve minutes had elapsed when Josef Martínez executed with his usual teacher a clear penalty committed against Arroyo.

Led by Busquets and with Jordi Alba entering firmly on his left flank, Inter Miami was generating danger looking for the second goal. And this came in a play started by Sergio and ended with an assist from Yedlin well finished by Taylor with a low shot.

A more incisive second part by Charlotte was expected but it was not. Inter Miami owned the ball and at no time did they see their victory and their place in the semifinals in jeopardy. The sentence came somewhat at Malanda’s own door.
The goal that sealed the win for Inter Miami was signed by Messi. The Argentine only had to push the ball into the net after an assist from Campana. The Argentine smiles because his first title in his adventure in the United States is closer.
