On the morning of April 5th, Inter Miami drew 2-2 with Austin in Round 6 of the 2026 MLS season. Lionel Messi, despite a brilliant performance, still managed to secure the victory for his team.

Visiting team Austin quickly dealt a blow to Inter Miami. In the 6th minute, from a corner kick, Guilherme Biro rose high to head the ball past goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, scoring the opening goal.

However, the home crowd didn't have to wait long. In the 10th minute, Lionel Messi brought the game back to a tie.

The Argentinian superstar positioned himself intelligently to head home a powerful header after a pass from Ian Fray. This was Messi's fifth goal in MLS this season.

Inter Miami completely controlled the game afterwards, with possession at times reaching 75%. However, they conceded a goal in the 53rd minute. Following a loss of possession in midfield, Austin launched a lightning-fast counter-attack, and Jayden Nelson capitalized on the opportunity to make it 2-1.

In a deadlock situation, Luis Suarez's killer instinct kicked in. In the 81st minute, from a perfectly placed cross by Germán Berterame, the Uruguayan striker executed a powerful header, leveling the score at 2-2.

In the final minutes of the match, despite their efforts to find a goal, Messi and his teammates were unable to break through the opponent's defense.

With this result, Inter Miami maintains its position in the top group of the standings, but they will need to improve their defense if they want to defend their MLS Cup title.
