Los Angeles FC (LAFC) sent Lionel Messi and Inter Miami spinning to their first defeat of the season on Wednesday, scoring an upset I-O victory in their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final first-leg clash.

Messi, Miami stunned by LAFC in CONCACAF Champions Cup

A 57th-minute strike from Los Angeles-born El Salvador international Nathan Ordaz handed LAFC a precious advantage heading into next Wednesday's return leg in Florida.

"I think we saw a complete performance," said LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo, whose only complaint was that his team had not managed to win by a more convincing margin.

"If we're honest with ourselves we need to be a little sharper in front of goal. If we get the same types of chances next week in Miami we need to be a little more ruthless."

Miami coach Javier Mascherano had few complaints about his team's defeat.
