Inter Miami continues to demonstrate that he is a candidate for the MLS title, and this time he did it with a key victory against Philadelphia Union. In a very disputed match, Lionel Messi appeared at the right time to score a goal and give the three points to the team led by Gerardo Martino.
The only goal of the meeting reached the 57th minute, when Inter Miami armed a fulminant counterattack. The play began on the left side with a spectacular run, in which Luis Suarez took the initiative. Messi, who had initially stayed behind, was patient and waited for the right time to enter the scene.
When Suarez looked up, he saw his inseparable partner and gave him the ball in the small area. With the cold blood that characterizes him, Messi faced the defender, hooked with his left leg and defined with the right, his less skillful leg. The shot was placed, beating the goalkeeper on one side and overcoming the desperate sweep of the rival defender.
The stadium exploded with the scoring of the Argentine star, who continues to leave his mark on the MLS with plays of another level. Not only was it a goal, but a work of art that demonstrated its ability to solve closed games and its perfect understanding with Suárez, with whom it has formed a lethal pair.
With this victory, Inter Miami is positioned as leader of the East Conference with 13 points, surpassing precisely Philadelphia Union, which was relegated to second place with 12 units. Martino’s team continues to consolidate his game and with Messi in a state of grace, the dream of the title seems closer.
This triumph is not only important in the table, but also in the confidence of the team. Overcoming a direct rival as Philadelphia reinforces the idea that Inter Miami is to fight for everything this season. In addition, the connection between Messi and Suárez remains one of the most fearsome weapons of the tournament.

At the individual level, Messi continues to add impressive figures. With this goal, he has already scored in five consecutive days, making it clear that he is still the key man of Inter Miami. At 37, the Argentine demonstrates that his quality and talent have no expiration date.
The next test for Inter Miami will be a hard rival as a visitor, where they will seek to continue with this positive streak. If Messi maintains this level, there is no doubt that the Florida team will be a firm candidate to fight for the MLS championship.
