Lionel Messi once again proved his important role at Inter Miami. In the Campeones Cup final last night, Messi scored and assisted his team to defeat Cruz Azul with a score of 2-0. This is the first championship of the season for Inter Miami and Messi's fourth title with this team.
Cristian 'Kily' González had an impressive debut as a coach, with Messi being the most prominent star in the match. Messi opened the scoring in the 24th minute, marking his 100th goal with Inter Miami. Then, Casemiro, a Brazilian player, scored the second goal in the 81st minute from a corner kick taken by Messi himself.
The match took place at Nu Stadium, Miami, where Cruz Azul, the team that won the Clausura Liga MX and Campeón de Campeones, had good possession in the opening minutes but could not create any real danger. Even so, Messi made the difference only after he moved to the right wing to find space and connected with González, creating the opening goal.
In the first half, Cruz Azul had several opportunities but could not score against Inter Miami's strong defense. Messi had a few shots but were unsuccessful, including a goal that was denied due to offside. In the second half, although Cruz Azul made changes to increase attack power, Messi and his teammates still maintained their position.
Casemiro completed the victory with his second goal, giving Inter Miami their first title this season. This is also a big morale boost for the team, as they aim for bigger goals this season, including the Copa de Campeones Concacaf, where they have encountered many failures in the past.
