As he started his Inter Miami career with a thrilling, late winner on his debut, Lionel Messi redefined US soccer.
The World Cup winner came off the bench in the 54th minute of the League Cup game against Cruz Azul to make his debut for the MLS team, but he didn't make his official entrance until stoppage time.
What an arrival that was as well. To prevent the game from heading to penalties at the last minute, the Argentinean curled an incredible free kick into the top left corner.
A free kick from roughly 25 yards by the game's best player, a seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, gave Inter Miami a 2-1 Leagues Cup victory over Mexican team Cruz Azul on Friday night.
The best moment in Inter Miami's brief history was undoubtedly when his left foot sent the ball over a wall of four Cruz Azul defenders and into the top left corner of the goal. Before the referee blew his whistle and fireworks lit up the night sky, play was restarted for about a minute before the final whistle.
