OneFootball Videos

Another week, another AT&T Goal of the Matchday award for Lionel Messi.

Inter Miami CF's legendary Argentine No. 10 claimed the honors for Matchday 26, securing 60.5% of the vote thanks to a trademark left-footed curler during the Herons' 2-2 draw vs. Nashville SC.

2nd place, Carlo Holse (27.3%): St. Louis CITY SC's summer DP signing helped extend their unbeaten streak to 15 games with a first-time strike into the upper left corner in a 4-2 win over Minnesota United.

3rd place, Antoine Griezmann (9.6%): The French legend is on a heater since joining Orlando City, with seven goals in the last five games, including a lunging left-footed finish during the Lions' 3-0 victory over Toronto FC.

4th place, Nicolás Fernández Mercau (2.6%): New York City FC's Argentine star fired a rocket from outside the box to help snap a seven-match winless streak with a 2-0 victory at Real Salt Lake.
