It was Messi’s first game back since he and teammate Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping its All-Star game. He connected with Marcelo Weigandt for the winning score in the final minute of stoppage time.
Messi also assisted on Telasco Segovia’s goal that opened scoring in the 58th.
Rivaldo Lozano scored the equalizer for the Guadalajara club in the 82nd before Weigandt’s goal in the 96th that had to be confirmed by VAR after he was originally ruled offside.
