Messi scored in the 19th minute, with teammates Tadeo Allende (first minute of extra time) and Luis Suarez (third minute of extra time) as Inter Miami scored on all three of its first-half shots. Suarez assisted Messi’s goal.
Kansas City notched its first goal in three matches this year on Memo Rodriguez’s score in the 63rd minute. SKC finished with 10 shot attempts and four on goal, while Inter Miami totaled six shots and four on goal.
