Let’s start with the bare facts: in the 10th round of the MLS, Inter Miami defeated the second-to-last place Nashville 3-1, thus leading the table of the main group of the East. The goals were scored by Lionel Messi (2) and Sergio Busquets, as well as Franco Negri, the latter an own goal.
The match started in vain for Miami, they fell behind in the first minute, Inter’s Argentinian defender scored for his own team after a corner…
It didn’t take long for the equalizing goal, which praised Messi’s keenness.
This goal came in the first half when yet Elliot Panicco stood at the gates of Nashville. But him at halftime Joe Willis replaced him, but Messi also “initiated” the latter goalkeeper, even from the penalty spot.
It was the second time in Messi’s professional career that he scored against two goalkeepers in the same match.
The first such incident was on 19 October 2016, when Messi scored a hat-trick against Manchester City in a 4–0 Champions League match. He scored his first goal in the 17th minute to Chile’s Claudio Bravo, then Bravo was sent off and replaced by Argentina’s Willy Caballero. Messi scored two goals for his compatriot in the 61st and 69th minutes, just to be safe…
But back to the game against Nashville! Between Messi’s first and second goals, Miami scored another goal, but Sergio Busquets headed it in from Messi’s corner.
That’s how the final result became 3-1 thanks to the former players from Barcás.
Messi is producing diligently: he has six matches, seven goals, three assists in the championship, nine goals and five assists in nine meetings in 2024, taking into account every match, that is, the CONCACAF CL.
