Lionel Messi returned to Major League Soccer with his right foot and did it as he knows: Marking goals. After his recent participation in the Club World Cupthe Argentine star returned to the ranks of Inter Miami and was the great figure in the victory of his team for 1-4 Before the CF Montreal, in a match that had everything.
Messi started and showed his hierarchy from the first minutes. His first goal came after a brilliant offensive combination, defining with great class within the area to open the score and silence the Saputo stadium. His connection with his teammates is still lethal, and the Argentine showed that he is still the engine of the equipment.
Already in the second half, when the game was still open, Messi reappeared. This time, with a spectacular left -handed from outside the area that left the rival goalkeeper without options, thus signing its double and expanding the advantage for Inter Miami. His celebration was emotional, reflecting the good moment he is going through after passing through the international tournament.
But the show was not just from Messi. Defender Segovia also contributed with a goal after a corner kick, while Allende closed the account with an accurate shot after a perfectly executed counterattack. Inter Miami was overwhelming in each attack, and left without answers to a Montreal who suffered during all the commitment.
The Canadian team could barely discount with an isolated goal, but little could be done before Inter Miami offensive avalanche. The difference between both teams was remarkable, and the final marker reflected with justice what was seen on the pitch.
An important point was the absence of the young Guatemalan Olger Escobar. After his participation with Guatemala in the Gold Cupthe striker was not summoned for this duel, since he had barely returned to the training after his physical and emotional burden of the regional tournament. It is expected to rejoin progressively in the next matches.
