Lionel Messi watched the 10-member Inter-Miami from the bench to win a 1-0 on Charlotte FC in Major League Soccer on Sunday.
Argentina was not used by coach Jevir Mascharano in a game where Miami spent more games on Monday after the goalkeeper Oscar Osterd left in the 38th minute.
He marked the third straight game that Messi failed to feature for Miami when he did not travel to Houston last week to win 4-1 in MLS and then saw a 2-0 victory over Jamaica’s Caval in the Konkak Champions Cup First Leg game on Thursday.
Maschano has said that he is carrying the burden of the 37 -year -old winner of the World Cup and while his absence is frustrated for the fans, Miami has not paid the price in the sector.
Former Austin Villa Manager, Charlotte, trained by the English Dan Smith, was a better team during the encounter, but failed to convert his many occupation into a real purpose prospect.
Visitors made preliminary indications where their threats faced, with former Crystal Palace Winger Wilfred Zaha showing his skills on the left, while Israeli Winger Lil Abada’s speed was clear on the opposing wing.
Miami was producing very little, in which Ashley Westwood played a game for the North Carolina team in the middle of the midfield, and when he ran Zaha from his line, he found herself in trouble when Osti got straight red.
The teams went to the goal on the occasion, but Miami only took a second to strike after a break with a pleasant constructed purpose.
Tedo Ende overturned Louis Sawyer and the veteran returned the ball with a chip that Argentina snatched down and then buried in the corner down.
This was the fourth goal in this season, in all the Elenda competitions, which joined the Spanish club in Miami from Selta Vigo.
Miami chose to defend his superiority, deeply sitting and in numbers, the disappointing Charlotte struggled to break his defense.
His best opportunity came in the 65th minute when Zaha whipped in a wicked cross from the left, but Patrick Egaming’s header shone widely.
The mob shouted Messi Cameo, but Mascharano selected defensive changes when the South Florida team laid a firm to maintain an unbeaten season.
