"To see this stadium come to life, after years and years of trying to get this stadium up and running in Miami is something that's very special, Beckham said shortly before kick-off."
"I came to America in the MLS 20 years ago and I made a lot of promises. And 13 years ago I made a lot of promises again announcing I was coming to Miami. Today it's just a dream come true for us."
"Messi though did not take long to open his account in his new surroundings. Right-back Ian Fray burst down the flank and crossed for Messi, who equalised with a rare headed goal to make it 1-1 four minutes later."
"Despite Miami's dominance in possession, Austin's dogged defence and speed on the counter continued to pose problems for the hosts."
Inter Miami's new Nu Stadium debuted with a 2-2 draw against Austin FC. David Beckham celebrated the stadium's opening, calling it a dream come true. Messi scored the first goal for Miami in the match, equalizing shortly after Austin took the lead. Despite Miami's dominance in possession, Austin's defense and counter-attacks proved challenging. The match featured a pre-game ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Beckham and other notable figures, marking a significant milestone for the club after years of efforts to establish a permanent home.
