"Lionel Messi scored two goals and assisted on another by Jordi Alba to lead Inter Miami to a 4-0 home victory over Atlanta United on Saturday night in Major League Soccer (MLS) at Chase Stadium in Florida. Messi, who sat out his home nation, Argentina's, friendly against Venezuela that was held in Miami one night earlier, started and helped Inter Miami (18-7-8, 62 points) guarantee itself at least the No 3 seed in the Eastern Conference with the victory."
"But Messi, who chose to play for club over country this weekend, now leads the MLS in goals, with 26, and his 18th assist tied San Diego's Anders Dreyer for the league lead. Messi's first goal came in the 39th minute when he controlled a crossing pass from Baltasar Rodriguez and curled in a shot to the far top corner to break a scoreless deadlock."
Lionel Messi scored two goals and set up Jordi Alba as Inter Miami beat Atlanta United 4-0 at Chase Stadium. Messi skipped Argentina’s friendly against Venezuela to play for Inter Miami and ensured the club will finish at least third in the Eastern Conference. Inter Miami can still reach second place by finishing with more points than FC Cincinnati, who hold the head-to-head tiebreaker if tied. Atlanta United lost its third straight match and is winless in five games. Messi leads MLS with 26 goals and his 18 assists tie for the league lead.
