Despite the disruptions, Messi delivered a stellar performance, scoring a wonder goal and creating another for Inter Miami.

Cheuko, tasked with protecting Messi since his arrival in MLS, has become a familiar presence on the sidelines. His vigilance paid off when he spotted a fan sprinting towards Messi, who was facing the opposite direction. Before the fan could reach Messi, Cheuko intercepted him, prompting a brief stoppage in play. Stadium security personnel also rushed in to assist.

This wasn't the only instance of fans breaching the field. Another young fan was tackled by security, while Messi himself attempted to calm another who approached him before being escorted away.

Messi Shines Despite Disruption

Luis Suarez sealed the victory with a goal in the 71st minute, securing Miami's first win in a month and propelling them to the top of the Eastern Conference standings.

Even with a record-breaking crowd of over 72,000, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the focus remained on Messi's brilliance and the team's crucial victory.
