Inter Miami falls at Cincinnati despite Messi’s maximum effort

Lionel Messi performed at his best but couldn’t prevent Inter Miami from suffering a heavy defeat against Cincinnati in the MLS 2025 match at TQL Stadium.

Javier Mascherano‘s team had to acknowledge the host’s superiority with a 0-3 score — where Gerardo Valenzuela contributed one goal and Evander added two more.

Despite the loss, Messi recorded an impressive individual performance — with five shots on goal being the highest among Inter Miami players, plus one key pass and one successful duel.
