Messi scores but Miami held by Nashville
Inter Miami battled Nashville to a 2-2 draw in their top-of-the-table Eastern Conference clash.
In an MLS match between Inter Miami and Nashville, Lionel Messi scored but ultimately his team was held to a 2-2 draw by the Nashville Sea Dragons. The Argentine star extended his impressive scoring streak against Nashville, now totaling 17 goals in 14 matches since his move to Inter in 2023.
Messi put Inter ahead in the 62nd minute with a well-placed strike, but Nashville quickly equalized in the 4th minute with a goal from striker Sam Surridge. The 39-year-old Messi had several opportunities to add to his tally, including a shot that hit the crossbar and another that struck the post.
Nashville took the lead again in the 78th minute, but Surridge equalized again with a crucial goal in injury time. Despite the efforts of Messi, who also cleared a late goal attempt by Nashville defender Jeisson Palacios, Inter failed to secure a win. The result leaves Inter nine points behind Nashville in the Eastern Conference race for the top seeding spot, with nine regular season games left to play.
