In a captivating encounter at BMO Field, Lionel Messi led Inter Miami CF to a 4-2 victory over Toronto FC, showcasing his talent in the MLS 2026 match. The Argentine icon scored one goal and assisted two others, propelling Miami to a win following their recent loss to Orlando City.
What made this victory particularly significant for Messi was reaching the milestone of 100 goal contributions in Major League Soccer faster than any player before him. Reports reveal that he achieved this in just 64 appearances, breaking the previous record held by former Toronto FC player Sebastian Giovinco, who reached the milestone in 95 games. Messi now holds an impressive tally of 59 goals and 41 assists in MLS.
Inter Miami displayed dominance in the first half, with midfielder Rodrigo De Paul scoring the opener in the 44th minute thanks to a powerful free-kick, which Messi graciously allowed him to take. This goal shifted the momentum firmly in favor of the visitors.
As the second half progressed, Messi was instrumental in extending Miami’s lead, assisting Luis Suárez for another goal. He then celebrated his own strike, followed by providing an assist to Sergio Reguilón for his first goal since joining the club.
Despite a spirited effort from Toronto FC, who played in front of a record crowd of over 44,000, Inter Miami maintained their composure during crucial phases of the match. This match was viewed as a precursor to FIFA World Cup 2026 preparations, underscoring its significance.
Messi’s impact on Major League Soccer has been profound. Since his arrival, he has shattered multiple MLS records, drawing global attention to the league. Analysts suggest that he has significantly boosted Inter Miami’s profile, making them one of the most recognized teams in North American football.
This win also marked a return to form for Inter Miami following a disappointing loss against Orlando City, showcasing an attacking style led by Messi, Suárez, and De Paul.
Supporters celebrated Messi’s achievement throughout the match, proudly displaying Argentina and Inter Miami jerseys. Highlights from the game quickly gained popularity online as fans expressed admiration for Messi’s sustained excellence, even in the later stages of his career.
