It was not a performance without its faults for Javier Mascherano’s side on their return from the Club World Cup.

Javier Mascherano’s team made a spectacular return to the domestic competition following their participation in the Club World Cup.

The game started off poorly for Miami. In the second minute, Messi sent a back pass directly into the path of Montreal forward Prince Owusu, who scored an easy goal on a left-footed shot from the center of the box to give the home team a 1-0 lead.
