Inter Miami achieves the impossible and wins against Porto in Atlanta

Inter Miami earned a historic 2–1 victory over FC Porto at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, watched by 31,783 fans. Leo Messi delivered with one of the best free kick goals that he has made this year.

Porto grabbed the early lead in the 8th minute through Aghehowa, catching Miami flat-footed. But the team with Leo Messi responded just after half-time: Segovia drilled home in the 47th minute for 1–1.

The game turned on Messi’s brilliance—a trademark free-kick in the 54th minute gave Miami the winner. It was special: curling beyond the wall, past the keeper, and into the net, making the crowd go crazy. Leo has us used to his game, but his goals will never stop being amazing and exciting.

Porto piled on pressure late but Ustari made vital saves, and Miami‘s defense held firm. The clean sheet at that stage came down to grit as much as skill.

This wasn’t just three points—it was MLS’s first-ever official competitive win against a UEFA opponent. A game-changer: proof Miami belong on the global stage. The team with the GOAT wasn’t the favorite for this particular match (or any in the tournament, actually), but they prevailed against all odds and took home a victory that will remain in the history of the club.
