Lionel Messi continues to write a story in MLS, leading Inter Miami to yet another major victory. Early Sunday morning (21/9), the Argentine legend scored two goals and scored an assist in a 3-2 win over DC United.
Pulga paved the way for his team in the 35 ‘, when he made an excellent vertical to Tadeo Aydente, who made it 1-0. DC equalized with Benteke in the 52 ‘, but Messi again took the situation in his hands. In the 66 ‘, after a pass by Jordi Alba, he turned well and scored for 2-1, while in the 85’ he scored a wonderful third goal with a lobby that left the opponent’s goalkeeper.
United reduced with Murel to delays (90+7 ‘), but the final 3-2 brought Inter Miami to 52 points, raising it to fifth place in the eastern region and closer to the play offs.
With his appearance yesterday, Messi scored 22 goals and 12 assists in the season, having contributed immediately to 16 of his team’s last games. Coach Javier Maserano did not hide his admiration: “It was another ordinary night for Messi, something that would be unique to anyone else. His ability to score and carry the team is our biggest advantage”
Inter Miami seems ready to claim the distinction to the end, with Messi proving that even in his 38 years he remains unstoppable.
