Video : Messi scores, but Inter Miami still suffers a crushing defeat against Minnesota - Source: MLS
On the morning of May 11th, Inter Miami visited Minnesota in Major League Soccer (MLS). Messi's team has been going through a relatively poor period of form recently.
This time they continued to show a disappointing performance. Inter Miami, under Messi's leadership, dominated the game with a possession rate of up to 74%. They completed 664 passes compared to their opponent's 250 and had 11 corner kicks.
Messi himself also put in a strong performance, contributing a goal in the 48th minute. From a difficult pass from a teammate on the left wing, he controlled the ball neatly, then turned and finished with a delicate shot to score.
But Messi alone is not enough to carry Inter Miami, especially when the defense is shaky and prone to errors.
That's why Inter Miami conceded four goals in this match despite dominating possession. Inter Miami's first goal came from a lack of decisive marking by the defenders, allowing Hlongwane space to shoot from close range.
For the second goal, the pink-shirted team's defense continued to fumble in response to a powerful throw-in from the opposing team. This allowed Markanich to easily head the ball into the wide-open net.
The weaknesses of the Inter Miami defenders were once again exposed in the third goal. This time, Marcelo Weigandt headed the ball into his own net despite the situation not being particularly difficult and him not being pressed by any opponents. They seemed to collapse as they allowed Robin Lod plenty of space to seal a 4-1 victory for Minnesota.
For Messi and Inter Miami, this was their fourth defeat in their last five matches across all competitions.
