Lionel Messi shone once again for Inter Miami, scoring twice and providing two assists in their resounding 4-0 victory against Nashville, securing their place in the MLS Eastern Conference semifinals . The Argentinian opened the scoring in the 10th minute before doubling the lead in the 39th, then providing an assist for his compatriot Tadeo Allende in the second half (73rd minute). Allende then doubled the lead three minutes later, set up by Jordi Alba.
After the match, his coach Javier Mascherano was full of praise for Messi. "I want to congratulate Leo on his performance. He led the way for us. To see him press like that at 38 years old is incredible ," he said in the post-game press conference. With this victory, Miami finally advanced past the first round of the playoffs after two consecutive losses and will face FC Cincinnati, who defeated Columbus, for a spot in the conference finals.
