Messi does it again! Inter Miami through to Leagues Cup quarterfinals thanks to Messi brilliance

761 days ago

Seven goals in four games! Lionel Messi is at it again for Inter Miami. This Sunday, the Argentine bagged another dramatic late free-kick as part of his second brace for the club.

In a Leagues Cup last-16 encounter with MLS rivals FC Dallas, Messi took part of a contest that was an eight-goal thriller, with the Argentine restoring parity and sending the game towards a penalty shootout when curling an 85th-minute free-kick into the top corner from the edge of the box.

Highlight of the match

Messi opened the scoring in the sixth minute, as he met a ball cut back to the edge of the area and rattled the cleanest of strikes into the bottom corner.

At that point, Inter Miami prevailed 5-3 on spot-kicks – with Messi converting his effort from 12 yards.
