MLS: Messi Helps Inter Miami Beat Los Angeles 3-1

Inter Miami continued their unbeaten run since Lionel Messi arrived at the club with another 3-1 thrashing of Los Angeles on Sunday night.

The Argentine superstar played his best game of the season on the road against the defending MLS Cup champions.

Messi had two assists in front of a star-studded crowd in Inter Miami’s 3-1 victory over Los Angeles Football Club.

“We’ve had many complex matches. I think because of the quality of the opponent today, this was one of the most challenging and the one that we performed the best within 90 minutes. I think it’s a very good sign,” Miami coach, Gerardo “Tata” Martino said.

Facundo Farías, Jordi Alba and Leonardo Campana scored for Inter Miami, which is unbeaten in its last 11 matches across all competitions.

Miami’s visit to Los Angeles was marked as one of the highlight games since Messi signed in. It was viewed by 22,921 fans, a record for LAFC’s BMO Stadium.

It also vaulted into one of the most-demanded tickets in MLS’ 27-year history.
