Lionel Messi scores as Inter Miami win against Atlanta United

MIAMI: Lionel Messi was on target as Inter Miami avenged last season’s playoff exit to Atlanta United with a 2-1 win that sent it to the top of Major League Soccer’s Eastern Conference standings on Sunday night.

Veteran Haiti international Fafa Picault headed in the winning goal in the 89th minute to give Miami a precious victory that extended its unbeaten start to the season. The win was also sweet revenge for Miami, which suffered a shock elimination to Atlanta in last season’s playoffs, in one of the greatest upsets in MLS history. Agencies
