Lionel Messi made a dazzling comeback after a two-game absence, scoring once and assisting another to lead Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over LA Galaxy. Back from a muscle injury earlier than expected, the Argentine superstar came off the bench in the second half and immediately shifted the momentum.
Inter Miami dominated the match despite trailing in possession. They fired off 29 shots eight on target while LA Galaxy managed just five attempts, three of which were on goal.
The scoring unfolded like this:
- Jordi Alba struck first in the 43rd minute, finishing off a clever pass from Sergio Busquets.
- Joseph Paintsil leveled for LA Galaxy in the 59th minute with a sharp finish.
- Messi entered the field and, in the 84th minute, curled a left-footed shot from outside the box into the net, reclaiming the lead.
- Minutes later, he delivered a slick backheel pass to Luis Suárez, who converted it into Miami’s third goal.
With this performance, Messi reached his 19th goal of the season and added another assist to his tally, continuing his dominant run in the league. His return electrified the home crowd and reaffirmed his status as the heartbeat of Inter Miami’s attack.
