Lionel Messi's Inter Miami will host Sporting Kansas City in the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup 2025, first-round tie at Chase Stadium, Florida early Wednesday (February 26, 2025) morning India time. Watch the Miami vs Kansas City football match live. (More Football News)

Inter Miami won the first leg 1-0 against their fellow Major League Soccer (MLS) team. Played in sub-zero temperatures at the Children’s Mercy Park Stadium last week, Messi scored the all-important goal in the 56th minute to give the Eastern Conference side the win.

The Herons, coached by Messi's former teammate at FC Barcelona in Spain and Argentine compatriot Javier Mascherano, will look to complete the task against the visiting Western Conference outfit. But expect the Wizards to test their hosts to the hilt. In the first leg, Peter Vermes' men allowed only one attempt on target, and that proved decisive.

That said, a win or a draw with any scoreline will propel Inter Miami to the Round of 16 of the Champions Cup, the top club competition organised by the CONCACAF, the confederation representing North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The Champions Cup is equivalent to the UEFA Champions League in Europe and CONMEBOL Libertadores in South America. It was once known as the CONCACAF Champions League.

For the visitors, the initial goal would be to restore parity: a 1-0 scoreline in regulation time which would force extra time and penalties, if required. They have the wherewithal to knock Inter Miami out with a decisive, aggregate-altering win.

On the domestic front, Inter Miami started their Major League Soccer regular season with a hard-fought 2-2 draw with New York City FC at home, while Sporting Kansas City lost 1-0 on the road at Austin FC.
