Lionel Messi dribbled around an injured player in the match between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake

Messi provided the decisive assist for Robert Taylor’s goal (’39) and Luis Suarez contributed to the success of Diego Gomes (’83).

The winner of the “Golden Ball” tried to score from a free kick (deflected by a defender on the goal line) and directly from a corner, and in the first half he became the highlight of the day when he tipped the ball over an injured player who was on his way to the goal.

During the break, while walking to the dressing room, Lionel Messi met the actor Will Smith.
