Inter Miami fell behind early, with Philadelphia’s Mikael Uhre scoring in just the second minute. However, Messi equalized for his team in the 26th minute, finding the net after receiving a pass from Luis Suárez.
Just four minutes later, the Argentine superstar struck again, scoring from an assist by Jordi Alba to put Miami ahead.
