Inter Miami played Club America in their first preseason game of 2025 as fans descended on Allegiant Stadium to see Javier Mascherano take the touchline for the first time as Herons boss.
Club America opened the scoring in the 31st minute through Henry Martin, but Lionel Messi equalized just three minutes later signifying the first Herons goal of Mascherano's tenure. The goal marked 21 consecutive years of scoring for the legend. All four ex-Barcelona stars started the game plus Fafa Picault made his Miami debut.
