Messi opened the scoring in the 10th minute. The Argentine superstar received the ball from the opponent's half, leading the attack into a 2 vs 4 situation. Instead of passing to his teammates, Messi's choice was to hold the ball and dribble into the penalty area to score a solo goal.
Four Nashville players followed Messi’s footsteps with their eyes. Messi was facing pressure from behind, in front, and on the side. However, Leo chose the right moment to create space to shoot. Messi’s final hidden kick sent the ball through the Nashville defenders and left the goalkeeper rooted to the spot.
In the 39th minute, Messi again spoke up with a goal that doubled the gap for Inter Miami. The 1987-born superstar received a pass back from his teammate, then coolly finished when the Nashville goalkeeper missed a beat.
Messi's double opened up the game for Inter Miami. Leo continued to leave his mark by assisting Tadeo Allende to seal a 4-0 victory for Inter Miami.
Inter Miami beat Nashville 5-2 on aggregate in 2 matches, thereby winning a ticket to the 2025 MLS Cup Eastern Conference semi-finals. In less than a month, Inter Miami faced Nashville 4 times, including 3 playoff matches for a ticket to the MLS Cup Semi-finals. Messi scored 7 goals against Nashville in those 4 matches.
Messi and his teammates will face Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. If they beat Cincinnati, Inter Miami will play either Philadelphia Union or New York City in the Eastern Conference final. In the Western Conference, Son Heung-min's Los Angeles FC will face Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The winners of both conferences will advance to the MLS Cup final.
Messi is having the best time since joining Inter Miami. The Argentine superstar signed a new contract with Inter Miami, committing to stay with the club until the age of 41 not long ago. After that, Messi showed explosive form on the field, helping Inter Miami go the furthest since the club was founded in MLS Cup.
