Dominant performance against Olimpia

Further chances were created by Messi, with Benjamin Cremaschi hitting the post. Messi then assisted Noah Allen for the third goal. Luis Suárez added a fourth in the second half, solidifying Inter Miami’s commanding victory.

This strong performance sets a positive tone as Inter Miami heads into its final preseason match and the start of the regular season.
