Messi's unexpected reaction in the heat of the moment drew a loud response from the Inter Miami crowd. The captain dismissed multiple security guards, ensuring that the troublesome fan could snap a selfie with him before being dragged off the pitch and facing punishment for the poor behavior that interrupted the match.

After crashing out of the Concacaf Champions Cup midweek, Inter Miami were able to break out of their mini funk while dispatching the New York Red Bulls 4-1. The Herons would get to a 3-1 lead by halftime thanks to Fafa Picault and Luis Suarez finding the back of the net.

Lionel Messi scored his first goal in five matches, and Inter Miami returned to its winning ways with a 4-1 win against the New York Red Bulls.
