Messi scores classy goal, makes strong comeback in Inter Miami shirt

This is a big Eastern battle as Inter Miami and Philadelphia are tied at the top of the standings. Both teams are unbeaten so far. The two sides struggled to keep the match going at a slow pace, with few notable moments in the first half.

Inter Miami, who had only half the shots on goal (3 to 6), surprisingly took the lead. Robert Taylor scored his first goal of the season in the 23rd minute. After a combination with Alba, Taylor got the ball and the Finnish midfielder finished neatly into the net.

In the second half, Inter Miami brought Lionel Messi onto the field amid the cheers of thousands of fans. Messi had missed two matches against Argentina due to a minor adductor injury. But he returned and it didn't take long for the 37-year-old star to score immediately.

Messi made an impressive return with a goal in the 57th minute

Messi found the net with his first chance after just two minutes on the pitch. The attack started from the home side, with Suarez passing the ball to the left to Fafa Picault, who returned the pass and Suarez fed Messi. The Argentine superstar dribbled skillfully before firing a shot into the bottom corner. Inter Miami led 2-0 and were certain of victory.

Philadelphia's last-ditch efforts only helped them equalize 1-2 in the final minutes. In the end, Inter Miami won 2-1 to maintain the top spot in the Eastern Conference. This was also a stepping stone for them to confidently face their rival Los Angeles FC in the CONCACAF Cup.
