Messi Nets 2, Inter Miami Beats San Luis 4-2
Lionel Messi scored his first two goals since the World Cup as Inter Miami beat Atlético San Luis 4-2. Messi’s goals in the 11th and 44th minutes brought his total to 14 goals in 12 Leagues Cup matches, making him the career scoring leader in the tournament. Inter Miami extended its unbeaten streak to eight matches with the win.
The match at Nu Stadium was delayed 30 minutes in the second half due to lightning in the area. Telasco Segovia and defender Micael also scored for Inter Miami, while Noah Allen had three assists. Rafa Llorente scored for San Luis, which took an early lead through David Rodríguez’s header.
Messi’s performance marked his return to form after being held off the scoresheet against Columbus. He led Argentina to its second straight World Cup final appearance before losing to Spain and has now taken the lead in the Leagues Cup‘s all-time scoring list.
This win follows Inter Miami’s 2-2 draw with the Columbus Crew on Saturday, where Messi played 37 minutes as a substitute. With this victory, Inter Miami solidifies its position in the Leagues Cup, and Messi continues to make history in the tournament.
The Leagues Cup has seen Messi’s impressive skills before, as he led Miami to the title in 2023 and the final again last year. His consistent performance has earned him a reputation as one of the greatest players in the sport.
