  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Lionel Messi did it again, folks. The Inter Miami superstar lined up from 20 yards and used his trademark left foot to score a world-class free kick in the FIFA Club World Cup on Thursday afternoon in the Herons' match against FC Porto. His sublime effort was nothing short of magic, as he bent the ball over the wall and into the back of the net.

    His 54th-minute strike arrived just seven minutes after Miami leveled the score through winger Telasco Segovia, bringing themselves back into the tie after being down 1-0 at the break. The goal would also prove to be deciding for Inter Miami as they would hold to a 2-1 result vs. the Dragões.
