Messi Inspires Inter Miami to 2–1 Comeback Win Over New England

Inter Miami had gone two matches without a victory, and the team once again turned to Lionel Messi to end the winless run. The Argentine superstar delivered, setting up a goal before scoring one himself to secure a relieving 2–1 victory over New England.

The visitors made a difficult start at New England’s home ground. After waiting for a breakthrough, Miami fell behind in the 53rd minute when Daniel Gazdag found the net to put the hosts ahead.

Messi then took charge as Miami fought its way back into the contest. In the 69th minute, Germán Berterame converted a chance created by Messi’s superb headed pass to bring the visitors level.

The decisive moment arrived late in the match. In the 83rd minute, Messi exchanged passes with a teammate near the penalty area, working his way past several opposing defenders before sending a precise left-footed shot into the net. The goal completed Miami’s comeback and sealed the 2–1 win.

The strike also marked another significant milestone in the 38-year-old forward’s career. According to the report, Messi’s total goal tally across all competitions has reached 937, while his number of goals from open play has risen to 822—a figure described in the report as the highest in football history.

Thanks to Messi’s decisive contribution, Inter Miami ended its two-match winless streak and returned to winning ways.
