Inter Miami Vs Hong Kong XI - Match Report

Inter Miami, ever since Messi was subbed off in the 37th minute against Toronto FC in MLS 2023 on September 21, 2023, due to an injury, have gone on a torrid run of form, that has seen the club endure a 12-match winless run. This implies the importance of the World Cup winner in the side.

However, Inter Miami finally gained some much needed form before their Japan tour as they ran past the Hong Kong team by putting four past the Hong Kong XI's net as the club won 4-1, thanks to goals from Robert Taylor, Leonardo Campana, Lawson Sunderland, and Ryan Sailor.
