"Lionel Messi's 29 goals in 28 matches allow the Argentinian star to finish as MLS's top scorer for the first time. Lionel Messi recorded a hat-trick and added an assist, while Baltasar Rodriguez scored the tie-breaking goal as visiting Inter Miami used a second-half assault to defeat Nashville SC 5-2 in a Decision Day matchup on Saturday night. Telasco Segovia also scored for Inter Miami (19-7-8, 65 points), who won their third straight game."
"Nashville was nursing a 2-1 lead in the second half until Andy Najar was called for a handball. Messi took the ensuing penalty kick in the 63rd minute and easily sent a left-footed shot into the left corner of the net to tie the match. The goal energised Miami, and it moved ahead just four minutes later. Luis Suarez took a right-footed shot that Willis knocked away. But the ball bounced over towards Rodriguez, who sent a right-footed shot past Willis to give Miami a 3-2 lead."
