Nathan Ordaz’s second-half goal was enough to get Los Angeles FC to play against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami in the first-leg quarterfinals.

The Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) spins Lionel Messi and Inter Miami to their first defeat of the season, beating a 1-0 victory in their CONCACAF Champions League quarter-finals first leg clash.

The 57th minute strike at Los Angeles-born El Salvador International Nathan Ordaz gave LAFC a valuable advantage, entering the return game in Florida next week.

Messi and Miami are teams of Major League Baseball Football Team (MLS) in all games since the start of the season.

But after none of the first half shrouded in the first half reached its peak, Los Angeles increased intensity after the break and immediately began posing problems for visitors on Wednesday.

LAFC defender Ryan Hollingshead wasted a huge opportunity in the 54th minute, and after breaking into the free throw area, he had a wide shot.

Three minutes later, the home team made the most important breakthrough, with the 21-year-old home striker Ordaz spinning from former Barcelona and Spanish International Sergio Busquets and hitting a low shot at the bottom corner of Miami goalkeeper Oscar Ustari.

Argentine superstar Messi has been his first start since last weekend since he was back two weeks after layoffs last weekend, trying to gain a foothold in the game.

Instead, it’s Los Angeles that look likely to score in front of 22,207 fans at BMO Stadium, including NBA superstar Stephen Curry, Miami team owner David Beckham and Argentina national team manager Lionel Scaloni.

Aaron Long just passed the free kick in the 63rd minute, and a moment later, Miami defender Maxi Falcon’s desperate goal block denied LAFC midfielder Timothy Tillman.

The Falcons had one of Miami’s few chances in the second half, glanced at the bottom corner at the title, and former French international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris gathered comfortably.

To make Miami’s frustrating frustration, Busquets were booked for a wild challenge against Cengiz.

Messi’s disappointing night was due to his failure to make the most of his free kick in promising positions, while the Argentinian waved his shot as LaFC insisted on a well-deserved victory.
