Lionel Messi scores as Inter Miami wins rescheduled friendly
"To be honest, during the last game in Ecuador I concluded with a muscle strain, which is why I left the field early. So, together with the people of the organization and Inter Miami it was decided to suspend this game. We hope it can be reprogrammed, and we can see each other."
"This game clearly gives us the opportunity to, first, give minutes to guys who have perhaps had fewer minutes in the preseason and in the last game we played. But yes, we're going to try to give everyone playing time."
Inter Miami CF played a rescheduled friendly against Independiente del Valle on February 26, winning 2-1 with goals from Santiago Morales and Lionel Messi. The match was originally scheduled for February 13 but was postponed after Messi suffered a hamstring injury during a previous preseason match. Despite already beginning their MLS season with a 3-0 loss to LAFC, Inter Miami honored their commitment to play the friendly. Head coach Javier Mascherano used the opportunity to provide playing time to squad members who had received fewer minutes during preseason and earlier matches, with the team facing Orlando City SC just 72 hours later.
