     It was cut to 3-2 by Inter Miami CF in the 53rd minute. They were awarded a penalty kick and Lionel Messi blasted the ball into the top right corner of the cage for his first preseason goal with the club. 

     David Ruiz tied the contest 3-3 less than two minutes later during the 55th minute when he powered in a 17-yard, right-footed shot from the left side. Al-Hilal pulled ahead 4-3 on a goal near the conclusion of the second half in the 88th minute.
