When he stepped on the pitch for the first time, the first explosion of joy was heard. He greeted the stands and the stadium gave its all. It was a historic night, with details that framed the presentation of the Argentinian and Inter of Miami CF against the El Salvador National Team. Jorge 'el Mágico' González shook his hand, gave him a hug and gave an emotional postcard for all Salvadorans. Gonzalez is the benchmark of Salvadoran soccer. He made the kick-off.

Messi returned to play with Luis Suárez. The duo that shone in FC Barcelona was reunited. Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba were also on the field. But, there was an opponent in front of them and, despite the fact that there was a majority of pink jerseys, the fans also approved the performance of their national team. Nelson Bonilla shot across the face of goal and, in the 13th minute, for the first time, the applause was not for Messi. Now the cry was El Salvador, El Salvador! It didn't take Messi long to win back the locals, he did it with a brilliant play in which he had a double opportunity to score, but goalkeeper Mario González prevented the madness in the Cuscatlán from being unleashed.

There was still a chance for a free kick just before the end of the first half. It was in front of the goal, close to the area. Messi hit it badly and wasted it. The first half was over and the Argentine star did not return to the field. There were 45 minutes enough to enjoy the best player in the world. In the stands, the show was for young and old alike. There were fans from the United States, Honduras, Guatemala and Argentina. El Salvador smiles, The Best arrived and did not disappoint. A night for history.
