Inter Miami will have to get past Pumas UNAM in their Leagues Cup Phase One finale without Lionel Messi.

De Paul, who won the World Cup with Messi and Argentina, has already paid major dividends for Inter Miami in his summer transfer from La Liga’s Atletico de Madrid. He scored in the 45 th minute to tie the match just before halftime, answering a goal scored by Pumas’ Jorge Ruvalcaba in the 34 th minute.
