MLS: Messi scores four goals as Inter Miami thrash CF Montréal
Messi Leads Inter Miami to Historic 7-1 Victory Over CF Montréal
Inter Miami captain Lionel Messi delivered an outstanding performance on Saturday, scoring four goals in a commanding 7-1 victory over CF Montréal. This marked the highest goal tally in a single match for Miami, ending the team’s winless streak in emphatic fashion.
Messi opened the scoring in the 40th minute, converting from a deflected free kick. Just 12 minutes later, he showcased his skill with a remarkable solo effort, further extending Miami’s lead.
The Argentine forward then set up Luis Suárez for a goal before completing his hat trick with a delicate chip shot in the 83rd minute. In the dying moments of the match, Messi added his fourth goal, sending another free kick into the side of the net.
Casemiro, a teammate on Inter Miami, expressed admiration for Messi’s impact. “That’s what it means to have Messi on the team,” he told Apple TV. “We have to enjoy these moments because he is a person, a player who makes history.”
