In a thrilling match on Saturday, Lionel Messi scored two decisive goals, leading Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over Nashville SC. This impressive defeat brought three points home to Miami. It signified the next achievement in Messi history as he continued his ongoing scoring streak in Major League Soccer (MLS) to ten straight. Messi’s brilliant start to this season has increased his massive tally to a total of 16 league goals. He’s currently tied in league with Sam Surridge for the league lead.
Messi’s greatness was on full display right from the opening moments of the match. He opened the scoring in just the 17th minute, curling home a spectacular free-kick. His masterful placement gave Nashville goalkeeper Joe Willis no opportunity to save. The question was answered in the best possible way as the Argentine forward kept showing his demonstrated brilliance, scoring once again in the 62nd minute. In a moment of brilliance, Messi made a great move to intercept a pass. He deftly sidestepped past Willis and coolly slotted the ball into the vacant net, clinching the match-winning goal.
Messi recently put together one of the best performances we have ever seen by scoring twice for the fifth straight game. This incredible accomplishment now holds the league record! He has combined for 23 goal contributions in MLS games this season. This historic accomplishment cements his standing as one of the most influential players in the league’s history. He’s scored 22 goals in all competitions. At 38, he plays with an incredible level of game-changing impact.
Inter Miami’s victory against Nashville SC ended the latter’s impressive 15-game unbeaten streak across all competitions. We’re so proud of the amazing turnaround the team has made! Three straight victories have followed their exit from the Champions League at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. During the game, Patrick Yazbek continues to provide the ideal setup for one of Messi’s goals. What stood out from this moment was the team’s dedication to collaboration.
