The match between Nashville SC and Inter Miami taking place at Geodis Park on the morning of March 12 (Vietnam time) ended without any goals scored. The two teams created many chances but both lacked accuracy in the final shots.
Right in the first half, Nashville SC was the team that played more proactively and continuously created pressure on Inter Miami's goal. Goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair had to work hard with many important saves to keep a clean sheet for the away team.
In the second half, Inter Miami improved their game and began to create clearer chances. Lionel Messi had a noteworthy situation after Rodrigo De Paul's pass, but the Argentine superstar's shot could not beat goalkeeper Elliot Schwake. In the rebound afterwards, Germán Berterame continued to shoot but sent the ball wide of the goal.
Nashville also responded with quick counter-attacks and dangerous set pieces, but Inter Miami's defense still stood firm.
The 0-0 draw leaves the match between the two teams still open before the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup 2026 round of 16. Both Nashville SC and Inter Miami have shown solidity in defense, but have not taken good advantage of scoring opportunities.
For Messi personally, he still has to wait to reach the milestone of 900 goals in his career. After this match, Inter Miami will return to play in Major League Soccer when facing Charlotte FC.
