Lionel Messi knocked down as fans storm the pitch during Inter Miami friendly
in Puerto Rico
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) --- Soccer star Lionel Messi was knocked to the
ground by a fan and a security guard at the end of Inter Miami's friendly match
in Puerto Rico.
Inter Miami was playing Ecuador's Independiente del Valle in Bayamn on
Thursday when a fan ran to the center circle and grabbed Messi by the waist
before both were pulled down by a security guard.
Messi appeared to be unharmed. The Argentine star immediately got up and walked
to another part of the pitch.
It happened around the 88th minute of the exhibition tour match. Several fans
jumped onto the pitch at Juan Ramn Loubriel stadium.
The match was originally scheduled for Feb. 13, but was postponed because Messi
felt discomfort in his leg during the previous exhibition match against
Barcelona SC of Ecuador.
Santiago Morales and Messi scored in the 16th and 70th minutes respectively to
give Inter Miami a 2-1 win.
Miami, which started its MLS season with a 3-0 loss to LAFC, faces Orlando City
next Sunday.
