A historic moment in North American soccer came early Saturday morning (22nd) when Argentinean "King" Mez made his debut for Internacional Miami, coming on as a late substitute in the 54th minute and scoring a spectacular penalty kick at the end of stoppage time to lead Internacional Miami to a 2-1 victory over Blue Cross in the North American League Cup, a Hollywood-style debut performance!
Saturday's North American League Cup was Mets' first performance in the U.S. and was watched by BECKHAM in person, with stars such as Lebron James and Aguero also in attendance. Mets and Bousquist were the backups in the game, and Inter-Miami took the lead just before halftime with a goal by Robert Terrell. The moment that caught the world's attention came in the 54th minute, when both Mays and Busquets came on as back-ups, sending the fans into a frenzy.
Mays, who played as a free agent in the midfield, had a lot of chances, but the Mexican team Blue Cross had a higher overall ability than Inter Miami and tied the game in the 65th minute with Uriel Anduña. After a series of attacks by Misi, Misi was awarded a penalty kick at the top of the penalty area in the last two minutes of extra time, which he handled himself and scored his signature penalty kick to give Inter Miami a dramatic win.
