It was a big occasion for the Beckhams' with Inter Miami competing in the MLS Cup play-offs, having won the Eastern Conference.

Miami got off to a fast start as Luis Suarez scored in the second minute, and they went on to win the match 2-1 with another former Barcelona player Jordi Alba grabbing the winner.

Beckham, 49, was in a good mood even before kick-off and he planted a kiss on his daughter Harper, 13, who looked less than impressed.

Cruz, 19, was spotted back alongside his dad having watched Lionel Messi score a hat-trick for Inter Miami last week with his girlfriend Jackie Apostel.

Miami's win over Atlanta means they need just one more victory to progress to the Eastern Conference semi-finals.

Eight teams qualified for the play-offs with Atlanta winning a wildcard match in order to take on Inter Miami in a best of three.

The next game will be hosted by Atlanta on November 2 and if the home team win a third match will be played - back at the Chase Stadium.

Inter Miami already have one foot in the semi-finals and will have to win that tie and the Eastern Conference final to qualify for the MLS Cup final.

Beckham's side have only once qualified for the MLS play-offs, in 2022, but lost in the first round to New York City FC.

This time around they are one of the favourites to go all the way after winning their conference by eight points, while Messi has hit brilliant form with 22 goals in 23 games.
