At the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, smoke bombs in the shade of Miami pink were detonated behind the goal as several supporters raced onto the pitch to celebrate Messi’s score before being escorted away by security.
It carried on the celebration that had begun on Sunday when Messi was formally introduced to his supporters in front of another packed house in South Florida.
When leaving Paris St. Germain when his contract there expired, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner only trained with his teammates for the first time on Tuesday.
After leaving Barcelona, Messi spent two years with the French champions, scoring 32 goals in 75 games. Messi declined lucrative offers to go abroad in favor of the US.

“To be honest, as soon as I saw the free-kick given, I thought this is how it’s meant to end,” said the 48-year-old.
“Especially when you’ve got players like Leo and Sergio on the pitch, that’s what they produce.
“It’s so exciting tonight for our fans. All of these people who come down here to see Leo step onto the pitch, let alone do what he’s done. It’s a dream come true for everyone in this stadium to see.
“It’s such a moment for this country, such a moment for this league.”
