Inter Miami played Club America in their first preseason game of 2025 leaving it until late to score an equalizer resulting in a 2-2 draw.

The match against America is the first of five preseason dates for Inter Miami on its “Americas Tour”. The team will play games in Peru, Panama and Honduras over the next few weeks and end the tour in Tampa against Orlando City on Valentine’s Day.

Inter Miami may have only been back in preseason play for about five days or so but Lionel Messi didn't need long to score his first goal of 2025 facing Club America in Las Vegas. Club America opened the scoring via Henry Martin in the 31st minute but that lead only lasted three minutes for the Mexican side as Messi delivered a rare header goal.
