Wasting little time scoring in his first match outside Florida with Inter Miami, Lionel Messi gave his side a 1-0 lead in the sixth minute on Sunday night. His left-footed kick from just outside the penalty box beat FC Dallas goalkeeper Maarten Paes inside the left post. The only wait was to see whether the goal would count.

Josef Martinez was initially ruled offsides by the head referee for interfering with Paes` view, but the call was overturned on review.
