Messi Scores First Goal at Inter Miami's New Stadium in 2-2 Draw
Lionel Messi scored Inter Miami's first-ever goal at their new Nu Stadium just 10 minutes into the game. The team tied Austin FC 2-2 in the stadium's opening match on Saturday.
Lionel Messi wasted no time making history at Inter Miami's brand new Nu Stadium. The soccer superstar scored the venue's first-ever goal just 10 minutes into Saturday's match against Austin FC.
The goal came in front of a stadium stand that bears Messi's name. David Beckham, who co-owns Inter Miami, called the new stadium a "dream come true" for the team.
Despite Messi's early strike, Inter Miami couldn't secure a win in their stadium debut. The match ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw with visiting Austin FC.
The new stadium represents a major step forward for Inter Miami, which previously played at temporary venues. The team won the MLS championship last season, with Messi playing a key role after joining in 2023.
The stadium opening caps off a remarkable transformation for the Miami franchise since adding the Argentine star to their roster.
This marks a major milestone for Inter Miami and soccer in America. The new stadium gives Miami a permanent home and shows how top players like Messi are helping MLS grow nationwide.
Inter Miami will continue their MLS season at the new stadium with upcoming home matches.
