Messi Leads Inter Miami to 4-2 Comeback Victory

In a thrilling Florida derby, Lionel Messi scored two goals to help Inter Miami secure a 4-2 comeback victory over Orlando City. The match began with Orlando taking a 2-0 lead within the first 25 minutes, thanks to goals from Marco Pasal and Martín Ojeda.

However, Inter Miami's Mateo Silvetti ignited hope with a stunning 25-yard drive just before halftime. Messi, the 38-year-old Argentine legend, equalized in the 57th minute with a left-footed strike from the edge of the area.

Télasco Segovia then put Miami ahead five minutes before the end, and Messi sealed the victory in the 90th minute with a low free kick that crept past Orlando's goalkeeper, Maxim Crepeau. This match marked Messi's first goals of the season and his 898th career goal across club and country, including 79 in 90 appearances for Miami.

The victory also marked Miami's first win in their nine trips to Orlando, with the team set to face D.C. United next.
