Several media reports stated that the temperature had risen above 38 degrees Celsius before of Inter Miami's encounter in Dallas. Some social media users even suggested that the supporters' angry emotions were caused by the harsh weather conditions. The extreme heat led both Inter Miami and FC Dallas to take a heat break near the midway mark of both halves.

On the 14th consecutive day of excessive heat in Dallas, Messi's fourth Inter Miami game began with a kickoff temperature of 38 degrees Celsius. Returning to the field, Lionel Messi scored the first goal of the Leagues Cup round of 16 games against FC Dallas after just six minutes. This was also his first goal away from Florida since joining Inter Miami earlier this summer. Late in the game, the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner struck another amazing free kick to equalize. Inter Miami finally won the game 5-3 on penalties to go to the quarter-finals. Messi's two-goal performance against FC Dallas was the third in a row in his Inter Miami jersey.

"We are very happy to be progressing, and these types of games allow us to continue to develop as a team and correct our mistakes." We still have a long way to go to reach the level we desire, but I am delighted we won," Inter Miami coach Gerardo Martino stated through an interpreter.

Before the game, FC Dallas owner Dan Hunt praised Messi for displaying his incredible form in America. Hunt compared viewing Messi's performance to "watching Michael Jordan."’ "In that experience, you're looking at one of the two greatest players of all time." So, absolutely, this is a fantastic time for FC Dallas," Hunt told Bloomberg ahead of his team's match against Inter Miami.

Lionel Messi has scored seven goals in four games for Inter Miami. The World Cup-winning Argentine captain has scored in each of the MLS team's four games.
