No Messi goals as Inter Miami draw 1-1 with Toronto FC | OneFootball

Inter Miami let important points slip away during their visit to Canada's BMO Field, drawing 1-1 against Toronto FC, in a match where Lionel Messi could not extend his scoring streak.

The team led by Javier Mascherano arrived with three consecutive victories and was looking to close in on the lead of the MLS Eastern Conference.

The Florida team opened the scoring on the brink of halftime, when Jordi Alba sent a precise cross to the far post that found the head of Tadeo Allende, who made it 1-0 in the 45+1 minute.

However, Toronto reacted in the second half and 15 minutes into the complement, Djordje Mihailović took advantage of defensive errors to seal the final draw.

Lionel Messi was a key player throughout the 90 minutes, creating several scoring opportunities, but was met with a great performance from goalkeeper Sean Johnson.

The former US national team goalkeeper denied the Inter captain up to four clear shots, thus ending a streak of five goals in the last three matches.

With this result, Inter Miami is in third position in the Eastern Conference with 56 points, four behind the leader Philadelphia Union, although with one less game.

Beyond the draw, the team has already secured its qualification for the MLS playoffs, but is looking to improve its position to enter the postseason in better shape.

The team's next commitment will be on Tuesday, when they host Chicago Fire in Florida, in a match where they will be looking to return to winning ways.
