In an exhilarating MLS clash, Lionel Messi dazzled once again for Inter Miami CF, but his brilliant goal was not enough to secure all three points, as the team was held to a 1-1 draw by Toronto FC at Chase Stadium.
The result came on the back of a disappointing loss to Los Angeles FC, and while Messi’s magic on the field was evident, Inter Miami’s struggles to find consistency this season remain a cause for concern.
Messi Saves the Day with Equalizer
The match saw Toronto FC take the lead just before halftime, with Federico Bernardeschi finding the back of the net to give the Canadian side an edge. However, Messi, ever the talisman for his team, wasn’t about to let his side go down without a fight. Latching onto a perfectly timed through ball, Messi equalized with a clinical finish, once again showcasing his world-class quality.
