The Argentine World Cup winner had put his side ahead in the 24th minute with a wonder strike into the top corner.
LIONEL MESSI scored a screamer and won his first trophy in North American soccer as Inter Miami beat Nashville on penalties after their final ended 1-1 in 90 minutes.
Messi and his team-mates rushed to celebrate with the American goalkeeper, who had made some key saves late in the game to keep his team alive. “It is like a movie, you watch these players play and it is, emotionally, everything about their play is beautiful,” he said. Nashville set out with the clear intention to limit the impact of Busquets and by extension Messi and they were effective in forcing Miami to play a slower type of possession football, deeper in their own half.
From a corner Picault won a header at the back post which ricocheted in off the foot of Benjamin Cremaschi and Callender. But in the final seconds, his Ecuadorian team-mate Campana should have won the game for Miami, when he rounded Panicco but from a tight angle could only hit the post with the goal at his mercy.
