Messi Leads Inter Miami to Historic MLS Supporters' Shield Victory

Posted : 03 October 2024

Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi played a pivotal role in securing the MLS Supporters' Shield for the club, scoring two goals in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew. Messi opened the scoring with a close-range effort and later added a stunning free-kick just before halftime, giving Miami a significant advantage going into the break.

 

Columbus Crew fought back, with winger Diego Rossi pulling one back to narrow the deficit. However, former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez quickly restored Inter Miami's two-goal lead. Despite a late penalty from Cucho Hernandez, Miami managed to hold on to their victory, marking a historic achievement for the club since its inception in 2020.

 

This triumph also represents the 46th trophy of Messi’s illustrious career, solidifying his status as one of the game's all-time greats. With this win, Inter Miami finished at the top of the MLS standings, ensuring they will enjoy home-field advantage during the upcoming playoffs.

 

Looking ahead, Messi expressed satisfaction with the achievement but emphasized the importance of focusing on the next steps. "The first objective has been achieved, and now we have to think about what's next," he stated. Miami is also eyeing the record for the most points in a regular season, currently held by the New England Revolution with 73 points, and they need to secure two wins from their final two matches to set a new benchmark.
