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.
