Messi stars in Clásico del Sol: two goals, Mascherano’s first win | OneFootball

Lionel Messi shone in a new edition of the “Clásico del Sol,” where Inter Miami defeated Orlando City 4-2 in the second round of the MLS. The Argentine captain was the main star, scoring two stunning goals: the first helped level the score at 51 minutes, and the second sealed the result near the end of the match.

The first goal from the “Pulga” came after a left-footed shot from the edge of the box that flew into the top left corner past Maxime Crépeau, who “dived but couldn’t prevent the goal.” With this strike, the star achieved a “historic milestone in his career” by scoring in 22 consecutive years, a feat described as “tremendous.”

Near the end, after assisting Telasco Segovia for the 3-2, Messi sealed the victory in the 89th minute with a “brilliant finish” from a free kick from a “considerable distance.” Thus, Javier Mascherano’s team achieved their first victory after losing in their debut. The next challenge will be on Saturday as visitors against D.C. United.
