Messi scores twice, assists in Miami's 4-2 win over Montreal

MIAMI: Lionel Messi scored twice and had an assist, and Inter Miami broke out of its slump with a 4-2 rout of Montreal on Wednesday night.

Messi scored in the 27th and 87th minutes and set up Luis Suarez’s goal with some nice dribbling in the 68th. Suarez added another in the 71st.

The win gave Messi’s slumping Inter Miami team just its second victory in its past eight matches. Miami last won on May 3, going 0-2-2 since then and dropping to sixth in the Eastern Conference.

It has been a surprising plunge for a team that went 22-4-8 during the regular season in 2024 to set MLS records for points (74) and winning percentage (.765) and captured the Supporters Shield. Agencies
