Messi Scores Twice as Inter Miami Defeats New England in MLS

In an MLS match at Gillette Stadium, Lionel Messi delivered a stellar performance by scoring twice to lead Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over New England.

La Pulga opened the scoring in the 27th minute — capitalizing on New England’s defensive error to slot the ball into the net from inside the penalty area.

Eleven minutes later, Lionel Messi struck again — this time converting a through pass from Sergio Busquets with a low shot from outside the penalty box.

Inter Miami’s coach, Javier Mascherano, revealed that he had to play Messi for the full 90 minutes in this match — a decision that proved to yield maximum results.
