Without Messi, Inter Miami takes on Sporting Kansas City in crucial MLS game: How to watch
View Date:2024-12-23 15:39:39
Lionel Messi might be out of town playing in a World Cup qualifier with Argentina, but his MLS team continues its playoff quest without him, taking on Sporting Kansas City Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.
A quick refresher: After leading Miami to the Leagues Cup title, Messi has been on a mission to carry his team to the MLS postseason.
But that task gets extra challenging this weekend, as Messi will be gone during the MLS international break. Inter Miami currently sits in 14th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings, with a record of 4-10-13. Suffice it to say the team has a lot of work to do if it wants to play in the postseason, though upsets like last week’s over LAFC certainly help its cause.
What time does Inter Miami vs. Sporting Kansas City game start?
The match starts at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
How to watch Inter Miami vs. Sporting Kansas City
Like all MLS games, Inter Miami's match vs. Kansas City, with kickoff set for 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday, will be streamed on MLS Season Pass, which is available on AppleTV.
How did Miami do vs. Kansas City previously?
This is Inter Miami’s first — and only — match with Kansas City this season.
Kansas City currently sits in 11th place in the MLS Western Conference with a record of 8-8-11. But Kansas City won’t be an easy opponent, especially after upsetting St. Louis — which sits in first place in the Western Conference — last Saturday with a 2-1 win.
How did Messi, Argentina do in World Cup qualifier?
Typical Messi. The GOAT scored on a free kick in the 78th minute Thursday to give Argentina a 1-0 win over Ecuador. The victory helps Argentina in its quest to qualify for the 2026 World Cup — which will be hosted by the United States. Thursday night was Messi's first time reunited with his national team since the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which Argentina won.
