Nashville SC are the first MLS team that figured out how to stop Lionel Messi. Shortly after losing in the Leagues Cup final, Gary Smith’s men managed to hold Inter Miami to a goalless draw in Fort Lauderdale.

Unlike in his previous matches, Leo struggled to get things going on the field, failing to connect with his teammates despite many attempts to create danger in the opposition’s box.

In the end, Nashville got what it wanted and claimed a point from its trip to South Florida. With this result, Messi and company still have plenty of work to do to try and make the playoffs.
