The match saw Messi achieve an incredible feat, marking his first-ever four-goal game in MLS. He opened the scoring in the 40th minute with a stunning free-kick, followed by a dazzling solo effort for his second goal in the 52nd minute. Messi completed his hat-trick in the 83rd minute and then sealed his spectacular performance with another powerful free-kick in injury time, bringing his tally to four goals.

Messi Dominates MLS Season

Beyond his personal scoring spree, Messi also played a crucial role in Luis Suárez's goal in the 80th minute, which was Inter Miami's fourth of the match. 18-year-old rookie Alexandre Shoen added to the scoreline in the 89th minute, making it 6-1. Another goal from Casemiro rounded off Inter Miami's emphatic 7-1 triumph.
