Lionel Messi Rescues Inter Miami With Late Equalizer Against LA Galaxy
The excitement surrounding the match, fueled by Messi's presence, echoed the remarkable progress MLS has made since Beckham's arrival in 2007.
In a pulsating MLS clash, Inter Miami, despite boasting a star-studded lineup and facing a red card, secured a dramatic 1-1 draw against the LA Galaxy thanks to a late Messi magic moment.
The Galaxy, lacking big-name signings, surprised everyone by outplaying Miami for much of the game. Dejan Joveljic's 75th-minute goal had them on the cusp of victory, even with Mark Delgado's red card further complicating matters.

This encounter, watched by 27,642 fans, was more than just a game. It symbolized the evolution of MLS. David Beckham, a legend in both teams' histories, with his statue overlooking the stadium, embodied the changing tides of the league.
