In this match, Messi played in the official lineup and had several situations threatening the goal of goalkeeper Tomas Romero (Toronto). But in the 37th minute, Messi had to leave the field due to muscle pain.
Speaking to the press right after the first half ended, Coach Martino (Inter Miami) said: "Messi and Jordi Alba had to leave the field. Those were two unexpected substitutions. We will evaluate their condition in the coming days."
Messi's early exit from the field has made Inter Miami fans worried. It is not known whether the Argentine superstar's injury is serious or not. Because in just one week, Inter Miami will have to face Houston Dynamo in the US Open Cup final.
However, according to the American press, Messi only suffered minor muscle pain and he will quickly recover to fight with Inter Miami in the upcoming important matches.
Back to the match, after Messi left the field, Inter Miami still played well and scored 4 goals by Facundo Farías, Robert Taylor (two goals) and Benjamin Cremaschi to win 4-0 against Toronto.
With 3 points from this victory, Inter Miami temporarily ranks 13th with 31 points.
