Inter Miami's most recent MLS match was on August 24th, without Messi. As a result, Coach Mascherano's team only managed a 1-1 draw against DC United.

After that, Inter Miami played two League Cup matches and only returned to MLS on the morning of September 14th. This time, Lionel Messi was back and started in the main lineup. But that didn't make Inter Miami any stronger.

The Argentinian star appeared tired and didn't produce many standout moments. His biggest contribution was a skillful dribble that earned him a penalty in the 32nd minute. However, his shot, aimed at the center of the goal, was easily saved by goalkeeper Kahlina.

That was also Messi's only shot on goal in the match. He played the full 90 minutes without another shot. The Argentinian forward had four dribbles but none were successful. He also completed 29 passes with an 83% accuracy rate, a relatively low figure for a star like Messi.

His teammates at Inter Miami also didn't perform well. It was almost impossible to find any bright spots from the players that coach Mascherano used. Furthermore, Tomas Aviles even received a red card for a reckless foul.

While Inter Miami played poorly, the home team Charlotte capitalized on their opportunities. Idan Toklomati's hat-trick in the 34th, 47th, and 84th minutes secured a resounding 3-0 victory for his team.
