Lionel Messi scored a majestic free-kick as Inter Miami came from behind to beat FC Porto 2-1 on Thursday.
The MLS side was held to a 0-0 draw by Al Ahly in their first fixture.
And it seemed they were on the road to another defeat, after the Portuguese side took the lead from the penalty spot.
Samuel Aghehowa converted a penalty kick in the 8th minute of the match to put Porto in front.
Inter Miami had to wait until two minutes after the break to be on level terms, with Telasco Segovia sweeping home a fine finish following brilliant team play.
Messi’s moment came 10 minutes into the second half, as he curled home a free-kick from the edge of the box.
It was the 37-year-old’s 50th goal for the club.
