Lionel Messi made it look easy.

The Argentine legend gave the historic Matchday 9 crowd at Arrowhead Stadium what they came for, unleashing a long-distance golazo in Inter Miami CF’s visit to Sporting Kansas City.

After an SKC giveaway, Messi uncorked a vicious left-footed strike that put Inter Miami ahead 2-1 in the 51st minute. Messi also assisted on Diego Gómez’s first-half goal, contributing to a 3-2 victory sealed by Luis Suárez’s back-post finish.

This all unfolded before 72,610 fans – the fourth-largest single-game attendance in MLS history – as Inter Miami ended their five-game winless streak across all competitions.
