The fans applauded every time the recent winner of FIFA's The Best award and captain of the World Cup-winning Argentina National Team touched the ball, and he was little challenged by the players of the Salvadoran Selecta, who always marked him as a block. El Salvador was cautious, did not open up much, guarded its defense so that Inter Miami did not have a chance to score in the game that was directed by Salvadoran referee Ivan Barton.

Messi pressed the accelerator at times and aimed at the goal, but the Salvadoran goalkeeper Mario Gonzalez saved several shots. Alba and Suárez also did their part to try to score in the Salvadoran goal, but the goal did not appear and the first half of the match ended in blank. When the game restarted, Martino substituted Messi, Alba, Suárez and Busquets. At that stage of the match, things were more balanced on the field, with El Salvador attacking Inter Miami's defensive zone more. But time ran out and the match ended with the scoreboard blank and Messi very relaxed watching the game on the sidelines.
