Lionel Messi scored a dazzling goal in the 89th minute of his Major League Soccer debut, helping Inter Miami beat the New York Red Bulls 2-0 on Saturday night and end an 11-match league winless streak.
Forty-eight years after Pelé joined the North American Soccer League's New York Cosmos in an effort to jumpstart soccer in the United States, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner entered in the 60th minute.
Messi followed David Beckham, Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimović to a far-more stable league that hopes to one day challenge the more established American sports in popularity. Fan focus was on Messi when he started to warm up three minutes into the second half, and a roar erupted when Martino signaled for him to take off his pinny and head to the center stripe.
Miami had not won a league match since May 13 against New England and had just one road victory, on April 29 at Columbus.
