Lionel Messi gave Inter Miami the lead in the 58th minute of the club’s match against Sporting Kansas City, and Luis Suarez scored the go-ahead goal later in the match for a 3-2 win. But that wasn't the only excitement during Saturday's match.

"It was an amazing goal," Inter Miami’s Benjamin Cremaschi said. "He does this all the time, so it doesn’t surprise me at all. It’s normal from a guy like him."

While Messi’s goal was the talk of the match, play was stopped twice because of fans running onto the pitch to get an up-close and personal look at the Argentine legend. A younger fan and an older man both entered the field of play during the match.

Messi also assisted on Diego Gomez’s score in the 18th minute to tie the match at 1-1.
