Messi scores as Inter Miami lead Atlético San Luis 2–1 at 27 minutes

Lionel Messi scored in the 11th minute, and Telasco Segovia put Inter Miami 2–1 ahead in the 26th as the Leagues Cup opener against Atlético de San Luis remained live at the latest ESPN update, which showed 27 minutes played. David Rodríguez had given San Luis an early lead in the fourth minute. 1

Inter Miami lead 2–1. Messi's goal came from the run of play and the ESPN tracker also records a saved Messi shot in the 20th minute. The feed does not yet list an assist, card or completed minutes for him because the match is still in progress. 1

This is the first meeting between the clubs and the opening Phase One match of Leagues Cup 2026. The official tournament preview says only the top four teams from each league advance to the quarterfinals; Miami's other Phase One opponents are Monterrey and Club León. 2

The immediate question is whether Miami can protect the lead after San Luis scored first. Messi has already supplied the headline moment, but the result, his final workload and any further goal contribution are all still pending. The 2–1 score is a live snapshot, not a full-time result.
