Lionel Messi was once again on the score sheet as he grabbed a dying minute equalizer as Inter Miami escaped with a 1-1 draw at the Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer on Sunday.

The Galaxy dominated for most of the game and had taken the lead in the 75th minute through Serbian striker Dejan Joveljic, although, the home side ended the game with ten men after midfielder Mark Delgado was sent off for a second yellow card in the 87th minute.

Jordi Alba then combined with Messi down the left, for a goal made in La Masia, the Spaniard delivering a perfect pass into the path of Messi who found the target with the outside of his left foot.

24-year-old Spaniard, Riqui Puig, who was one of the dominant players on the field, especially in the first half when his team had a series of chances.

Puig should have given the home side the lead in the 13th minute from the penalty spot but failed to convert the spot kick.

The Miami goalkeeper, Drake Callender, produced fine saves to keep out efforts from Paintsil and Puig and to keep his side in a game in which they created little.
