Inter Miami began its journey in the Leagues Cup, defeating Atlas with a score of 2-1. Lionel Messi, who returned to the field after a one-match suspension, provided two assists, one of which was decisive in the final seconds of the match.
In the game, which took place on July 30, 2025, Messi assisted Telacis Segovia, who opened the scoring in the 58th minute. However, in the 82nd minute, Rivaldo Lozano equalized the score. The original goal was scored by Marcellus Weigand in the 96th minute, after VAR confirmation.
