Lionel Messi had two assists as Inter Miami defeated Los Angeles FC 3-1, extending their undefeated record to an amazing 11 games. Miami’s best-ever streak was led by Lionel Messi, who was outstanding once again on Sunday, September 3. Messi joined the squad in July and has since made big contributions to their success.
Facundo Farias, Jordi Alba, and Leonardo Campana scored for Inter Miami, with Messi providing two important assists. This result represents a big improvement for the club, which now has ten wins and one tie in all competitions since Messi’s debut on July 21st. This winning run includes a Leagues Cup victory over Nashville SC on August 19th.
Inter Miami recovered well against LAFC after a scoreless draw earlier in the week against Nashville. The club, which has seven victories, four ties, and fourteen defeats, is presently ranked fourteenth in the league.
With a last-second goal from Ryan Hollingshead, LAFC, the defending MLS Cup winner, avoided a loss. However, Inter Miami’s custodian Drake Callender prevented them from taking the lead right away by making a key stop in the 11th minute.
