On the morning of April 7, at Chase’s home field, Inter Miami had a tough match against Colorado. Messi continues to sit on the bench when he has not regained his best condition after injury.

Coach Martino also put other Inter Miami veterans such as Luis Suarez, Alba or Busquets on the bench, after they just plowed through the CONCACAF Champions League in midweek.

With a broken squad, Inter Miami faced difficulty against Colorado. The away team opened the score first in the 45th minute, thanks to Rafael Navarro on the 11 meter mark and had an overwhelming position. This forced Coach Martino to put Messi on the field at the beginning of the second half.

Immediately, this adjustment changes the situation. In the 58th minute, after a cross from his teammate, Messi fired a dangerous one-touch shot from outside the penalty area to equalize the score 1-1 for Inter Miami.

Messi’s finish to equalize 1-1 is worthy of a masterpiece.

Leo’s appearance helped the balance of the match tilt heavily in favor of the home team. Messi’s technical foundation and ability to organize play helps Inter Miami overwhelm opponents. 2 minutes after the equalizer, Messi continued to create opportunities for David Ochoa to pass as if to help Leo Afonso score to increase the score to 2-1 for Inter Miami.

Inter Miami’s impressive comeback made their fans explode. However, the loss of concentration in play and holes in defense continued to make the home team hold grudges. In the 88th minute, Colorado Rapids found a 2-2 equalizer thanks to Bassett.

This result makes Inter Miami unable to regain the joy of winning in the last 4 consecutive matches (2 draws, 2 losses). However, Inter Miami fans have the right to hope that Messi’s return will help the club play better. Inter Miami is currently ranked 2nd in the MLS Eastern Region standings with 12 points after 8 matches.
