The Argentine was his usual self by grabbing two assist on the night, but it was not enough to secure maximum points.
Inter did finish the game with ten men after Tomas Aviles was given his marching orders, while a few other decisions also seemingly upset.
The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner confronted the referee at the full-time whistle and according to Tyc Sports, who had a lip reader, called the referee a coward.
It is unlikely that the Argentine superstar will face any immediate punishment for the insult towards the match official.
Messi and Inter will now turn their attention to the second leg of their Concacaf Champions Cup tie against Sporting KC, where they currently lead 1-0 on aggregate.
