With Inter Miami, Lionel Messi scored on Saturday and will remain in Miami.
Lionel Messi scored for Inter Miami in their 3-3 draw vs. St. Louis.
Messi made it two goals in his last two matches for Inter Miami in their draw. With St. Louis leading 1-0, it was a goal we have seen many times.
A pass by Jordi Alba to Lionel Messi and Messi would score to draw Inter Miami level. Messi now has 12 goals in 12 MLS matches this season.
Federico Redondo started the match for Inter Miami but was substituted out injured after 30 minutes.
With St. Louis leading 2-1, Messi dribbled passed two players, passed it to Jordi Alba and he passed it to Luis Suárez who scored.
The 36 year old has 25 goals for Inter Miami, four less than Gonzalo Higuaín who holds the club record with 29 goals.
This was Messi’s last match for Inter Miami before the Copa America. He will be joining the Argentina national team and they will begin training on Monday.
