Tom Brady joins David Beckham at Inter Miami match as NFL legend takes in some MLS action - with injured Lionel Messi also in the stands

Tom Brady is in the house for Inter Miami's MLS clash with FC Cincinnati on Saturday night after joining David Beckham in the stands at Chase Stadium.

Brady, the most decorated NFL quarterback of all time, was all smiles as he chatted with Beckham before kickoff in Fort Lauderdale, where he was seemingly invited as a special guest of the Miami co-founder.

The pair weren't the only sporting icons in the crowd, however, as Miami superstar Lionel Messi is also watching on from the stands while still recovering from the horror ankle injury he sustained in last month's Copa America final. 

Messi, Brady and Beckham all watched on as Luis Suarez fired Miami into a two-goal lead after just six minutes on the night, edging them towards a victory which will maintain their firm grip on top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Yet just three minutes before halftime, the hosts were dealt a huge setback when Tomas Aviles was brandished a red card, meaning they still have work to do after the interval.
