Inter Miami 2-1 Philadelphia Union: Player Ratings as Messi Scores in Return | OneFootball

Lionel Messi took just two minutes to score and netted the eventual winning goal as Inter Miami CF defeated the Philadelphia Union 2–1 on Saturday night at Chase Stadium.

While the Union put up a substantial fight as the higher-ranked team coming into the match, Miami's early attacks and goals from Robert Taylor and Messi proved too much for them to overcome. With the win, Miami overtook Philadelphia for the top spot in the MLS Eastern Conference and remained undefeated with a draw and four wins.

It wasn't a perfect game for Miami by any means though. Starting goalkeeper Oscar Ustari had to come out of the match, which saw the return of Drake Callender between the sticks as a substitute, and they allowed a goal to Daniel Gazdag as well as several late chances.

Here are Inter Miami CF's player ratings from the Matchday 6 win before they look ahead to a midweek Concacaf Champions Cup clash with LAFC.
