Messi takes charge
Lionel Messi scored two second half goals to take his MLS leading tally to 25 as Inter Miami defeated hosts Atlanta United 3-1 on Saturday. Mexico striker German Berterame put Miami ahead right before halftime.
Messi then took center stage after the restart with two goals in four minutes. His first came in the 56th minute after he drove infield from the right wing, exchanged passes with Berterame, and fired low into the net.
Record breaking form
His second goal came after Luis Suarez sent him free on a breakaway, allowing Messi to beat Atlanta goalkeeper Lucas Hoyos with his left foot. Atlanta got a late consolation goal through a penalty from Fafai Picault.
At fulltime, Messi held a six goal lead in the race for the MLS Golden Boot. He also tied the joint most assists with 15, becoming the first player in MLS history to register 15 assists in three consecutive seasons.
