VIDEO: Lionel Messi watches in disbelief as Al-Nassr defender Aymeric Laporte scores from inside his own half against Inter Miami

Al-Nassr were given a free-kick inside their own half and Laporte stepped up to take it. The centre-back spotted goalkeeper Drake Callender off of his line and tried his luck with a shot. The former Manchester City star nailed his effort, too, as he sent it sailing towards goal and into the net.

Laporte's goal extended Al-Nassr's lead to 3-0 against the MLS side. The Saudi Arabian team took the lead through Otavio just three minutes into the clash before Anderson Talisca made it 2-0 after just 10 minutes. Just two minutes after that, Laporte sent in the third. The Riyadh club were looking strong despite the absence of star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who had to pull out of the team.

Their strong start against the American club will come as a big boost to Al-Nassr. They are preparing for an AFC Champions League knockout tie against fellow Saudi side Al-Feiha later in February, while Lionel Messi and his Inter Miami co-stars will feel they have much to improve on before they begin their MLS campaign on February 22.
