Lionel Messi's first MLS season ended in a disappointing defeat as Inter Miami fell to Charlotte FC 1-0 at Bank of America Stadium.
After seeing an early called back due to an offside call, Inter Miami conceded in the 13th minute. Charlotte FC's Kerwin Vargas provided the opening finish, giving the hosts a major lift as they faced Miami for the second time in four days.
Messi nearly got Inter Miami back in it early in the second half, but his lovely chipped finish was called back for offside. The Argentine then smashed the crossbar from a free kick in the 62nd minute. It would be Miami's best chance as Messi and co. fell in their final match. The club's fate was already sealed heading into the finale, having already been assured of missing out on the playoffs, while Charlotte FC needed a win and help to lock up a spot in the postseason. Fortunately for Charlotte, that help did come as they will move on to the MLS postseason.You can't overstate how important Vargas' early goal was for the hosts.
