Messi misses Panenka penalty, Miami lose 3-0

Inter Miami suffered a 3-0 defeat against Charlotte FC in an MLS game at the Bank of America Stadium on Saturday night after Lionel Messi's attempted Panenka penalty was saved by goalkeeper Kristijan Kahlina.

Messi made the cheeky attempt from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute, only to see it denied by the reigning MLS Goalkeeper of the Year, Kahlina, who made five saves to secure his 10th clean sheet of the league season.

What would hurt the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner even more is that Miami conceded just two minutes after his miss, with Idan Toklomati scoring his first goal of the game in the 34th minute. The 21-year-old Israeli striker struck again in the 47th minute and then converted from the penalty spot in the 84th, as Charlotte extended their MLS win streak to a record-tying nine games.

Toklomati, who now has 11 goals this season, starred while Miami went down to 10 men after Argentine defender Tomas Aviles was shown a red card in the 79th minute.

It was Inter Miami's first match without suspended striker Luis Suarez, who is serving a three-match ban from MLS for spitting on a Seattle Sounders staff member after Inter's loss in last month's Leagues Cup final.
