It was a historic night in Miami as Inter Miami’s Lionel Messi scored his third consecutive goal in a thrilling match against the San Jose Earthquakes. The game was delayed for 95 minutes due to inclement weather, but that didn’t stop Messi from making history.
The match began with Inter Miami taking the lead in the first half, thanks to a goal from Blaise Matuidi. San Jose responded in the second half, equalizing the score with a goal from Jackson Yueill.
With the score tied at 1-1, Messi stepped up and delivered the winning goal in the 78th minute. The goal was a beautiful strike from outside the box that left San Jose’s goalkeeper with no chance of stopping it.
The goal was Messi’s third consecutive goal in three games, and it was his first goal for Inter Miami since joining the team in January. It was also his first goal in Major League Soccer, and it has been a long time coming for the six-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The goal was a momentous occasion for Inter Miami and its fans, as it marked the first time that Messi had scored for the team. It also marked the first time that a player had scored three consecutive goals in three games since David Beckham did it in 2007.
The win was a huge boost for Inter Miami, as it moved them up to fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings. It also showed that Messi is still capable of producing moments of magic, even after 95 minutes of weather delay.
Inter Miami will be hoping that Messi can continue his impressive form and help them reach the playoffs this season. With Messi in their team, anything is possible.
