Gerardo Tata Martino's team did nothing in the first half hour, but from the 40th minute onwards, the quality of the Major League Soccer team prevailed, who, by the way, played without Lionel Messi.

Lionel Andres Messi did not play a single minute, because he was not on the bench but rather in the stands, due to an alleged injury not yet revealed. Messi, although he did not play, came down to the field before, at halftime, and after the game.

Before the match, Lionel Messi was at the opening of the match, and a funny moment occurred, as he was scared by some fireworks that he was not expecting. Although it did not become mainstream, the video soon went viral on social media.
