Messi Scores as Inter Miami Draws 2-2 with Nashville SC
On Saturday, Lionel Messi scored for Inter Miami in a 2-2 draw against Nashville SC during a crucial Eastern Conference match at Miami’s Nu Stadium. Messi's goal came in the 62nd minute, giving Inter a 2-1 lead after Nashville's Sam Surridge had opened the scoring in the fourth minute.
Messi also contributed to Miami's equalizer earlier in the match, as his corner kick led to an own goal by Nashville defender Reed Baker-Whiting. Messi nearly increased his tally with a shot that hit the crossbar and another that struck the post.
However, Nashville equalized in injury time through Surridge, who scored from close range. This result leaves Inter Miami nine points behind Nashville in the race for top seeding, with nine regular season games remaining.
Messi has now scored 17 goals in 14 games against Nashville since joining Inter Miami in 2023.
