00:01Rodrigo de Paul scored for Inter Miami, but his first thought was with Lionel Messi and the loss
00:07his captain is going through. Messi missed the league's cup match against Monterey after the
00:12death of his father, Jorge. At 68 forced him to leave the team and return to Rosario to be with
00:17his mother and siblings. After a team move started by Casemiro, de Paul opened the scoring with a
00:23powerful strike and immediately abandoned his usual celebration. Instead, de Paul removed his jersey and
00:44revealed Messi's iconic number 10 shirt underneath, dedicating the goal to the teammate and captain with
00:50whom he won the World Cup. The tribute gave Inter Miami an emotional start to the night,
00:55although Monterey eventually came from behind to win the match 2-1.
