Tata Martino's side secured a 2-0 victory, earning their first three points in Group East 3, per ESPN.
Miami got a strong start against Puebla, with Matías Rojas scoring in the 9th minute. Luis Suárez sealed the victory later in the match.
Messi watched from the stands at Chase Stadium with his children and partner, Antonella, and witnessed an impressive performance from Tata Martino's side.
Antonella spies on Messi's phone?
The Argentine superstar was absent from the game due to an ankle injury sustained during the Copa America final. He is still wearing a walking boot, leaving his return uncertain as Inter Miami continues their League Cup campaign.
During the match, the camera captured Antonela checking Messi's phone.
In the 33rd minute, as Messi casually looked at his device, Antonella was seen giving it a side-eye glance.
Social media reactions
The candid moment quickly drew attention from fans and social media alike.

What's next for Messi and Inter Miami?
Since mid-June, Inter Miami has lost only once without Messi, against FC Cincinnati.
They must continue this form as no return date has been set for the 2022 World Cup winner, who is still sidelined with an ankle injury from the Copa America final.
