Coach Javier Mascherano said Messi did not look 100 percent, but was determined to play and was able to finish the game.

Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is slated to return to the pitch for Saturday's match against the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Messi slipped through defenders with his trademark dribbling before burying a left-footed shot from distance that made it 2-1 in the 84th minute.
