MLS All-Stars beat Liga MX 3-1 without Lionel Messi

Sam Surridge, Tai Baribo, and Brian White netted, and MLS won against Liga MX of Mexico 3-1 in the MLS All-Star Game.

Leo Messi and his teammate Jordi Alba can be suspended as the duo from Inter Miami missed the match. That can cost them their place on the pitch when the Floridian team face Cincinnati at the beginning of the weekend for not taking part in the All-Star Game.

Leo didn’t play in the All-Star Game since his transfer to Inter Miami. The Argentinian superstar didn’t play in 2024 because he was injured. Leo is even with Nashville’s Surridge for the MLS lead in goals as both have 18.

The only goal for the Liga MX in the match was scored by Gilberto Mora as he made his team’s trail only 1 goal in the 64^th minute, but then they conceded another one in the 80^th minute.
