Messi Scores First Goal of 2025 as Inter Miami Beats Kansas City
Lionel Messi kicked off 2025 in style, scoring his first goal of the year in his first official match with Inter Miami.
The Argentine captain led his team to a 1-0 victory over Kansas City in the first leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup clash early Thursday morning, Nigerian time.
Playing at Children’s Mercy Park, Messi found the net in the 56th minute, securing a crucial advantage for Inter Miami ahead of the return leg. The second leg is set for Wednesday, February 26, at Chase Stadium.
With this goal, Messi reached an incredible 851 career goals. The eight-time Ballon d’Or winner will now shift focus to Inter Miami’s upcoming MLS game against New York City on Sunday.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
