FC Dallas vs Inter Miami live score, updates, lineups, and result from Leagues Cup 2023 Round of 16
Lionel Messi will look to keep his goal-scoring streak alive since joining Inter Miami when he makes his first roadtrip with his new club to face FC Dallas in Texas in a Leagues Cup Round of 16 match.
It’s no surprise that Toyota Stadium in Frisco will be sold out to see Messi, who has scored in every one of the three matches he has played, including two multi-goal games.
Messi has lifted Inter Miami to three straight victories, including in the Round of 32 over Orlando City. FC Dallas overcame Mexican side Mazatlan on a late goal and are hosting this game because they had a better record than Inter Miami in 2022.
The winner of this Round of 16 match will face the winner of the Houston Dynamo vs. Charlotte FC match in the quarterfinals.
