Inter Miami played FC Cincinnati to a 0-0 draw without the suspended Lionel Messi on Saturday night. Messi was not available after he and teammate Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping the All-Star game. Messi was still in attendance on Saturday, watching from a suite at Chase Stadium.
It took controversial calls and some tense moments, but neither Inter Miami nor FC Cincinnati were able to find the back of the net on Saturday night, ending the MLS Eastern Conference heavyweight clash with a scoreless draw.
The Messi cam is "pushing the boundaries of how fans experience the game," said MLS Executive Vice President of Media Seth Bacon. Bacon added, "With this collaboration, we're bringing fans even closer to one of the greatest players of all time- in a way that's dynamic, immersive, and made for the next generation of fans.
