Argentine legend Lionel Messi added a new achievement to his illustrious career, after scoring the first goal in the history of the American club Inter Miami at its new stadium, No Stadium, during the team's match against Austin FC.

This historic moment came in the tenth minute of the match, just four minutes after the visitors threatened to score the first goal at the stadium.

Austin FC player Guilherme Pero opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a header, causing discontent among the local fans, but Messi quickly equalized with a skillful header after a cross from Ian Fray, igniting the enthusiasm of Inter Miami fans. This goal became his fifth in the American league during his sixth appearance this season.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw after Jayden Nelson restored Austin's lead, before Luis Suarez equalized nine minutes before the end.

The atmosphere of the match witnessed a special ceremony before the start, where David Beckham, the club's co-owner, delivered a speech to the fans alongside partners Jorge and Jose Mas, emphasizing Messi's importance to the club and describing him as the best player in the history of the game.

The stadium features a permanent memorial for Lionel Messi, with an entire section on the east side dedicated as the Leo Messi Stand, in a tribute to the Argentine star.

The total cost of building the stadium is approximately 350 million dollars, while the Miami Freedom Park complex reaches about one billion dollars, including 26,700 seats, 750 rooms, a commercial village, public parks, and community soccer fields.

The Daily Mail reported that the stadium was entirely funded by the private sector, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis allocating 8 million dollars to complete a road around the stadium.

Beckham, his wife Victoria, and their children Cruz and Romeo participated in the stadium's opening, with Cruz expressing his immense pride in his father via his Instagram account, affirming that the stadium's opening represents a historic moment for the club and the Beckham family.
