Argentine Superstar Scores Twice and Assists One, While Luis Suárez Hits 600th Career Goal.
Lionel Messi delivered another historic performance for Inter Miami on Sunday, scoring twice and providing an assist in a dominant 4-0 victory over Atlanta United at Chase Stadium. The win served as a tribute to defender Jordi Alba, who was playing in his final regular-season home game for the club.
The Argentine star’s performance was electric, netting his first goal just before halftime with a brilliant curler into the top corner. His second goal came late in the match after latching onto a lofted ball from Alba, ensuring the team secured the emphatic victory.
Messi’s brace saw him carve out new history in Major League Soccer.
”Messi created even more history following another standout display for Miami,” a data report noted, confirming the player’s unrivaled dominance. “With two goals, he became the first player to score at least twice in nine matches during a single MLS regular season.”
The scoring was rounded out by a spectacular moment from Luis Suárez, who reached a career landmark. The veteran striker scored his goal just after the hour mark with a superb volley, marking his 600th goal in all competitions.
The match served as an emotional send-off for veteran left-back Jordi Alba, who had a memorable night himself, scoring the third goal of the game—his third in his last two outings—off a cross-field pass provided by Messi. The victory was observed by Messi’s Argentina national teammates ahead of their upcoming international fixture.
