Lionel Messi continues to score yet again for Inter Miami in their 1-1 draw against Toronto FC in Major League Soccer on Sunday. Messi’s goal came in extra time, marking yet another significant milestone in his career.

Messi’s Stunning Volley Levels The Game

In the 45+5th minute, Messi volleyed a stunning shot to level the scoreline for Inter Miami, ensuring a 1-1 point. Though his first-half attempt in the 39th minute was canceled out by a VAR check following a foul committed on Toronto’s Nicksoen Gomis, his late goal was decisive in getting his team a point.

Record-Breaking Feat For Messi

Messi’s strike was not only a match-saver; it also became part of history. With his 44th goal contribution in MLS, Messi took the distinction of becoming Inter Miami’s record all-time goal contributor. He achieved this milestone in just 29 games, surpassing his erstwhile Argentina colleague Gonzalo Higuaín.

Federico Bernardeschi Puts Toronto Ahead

Earlier during the match, Toronto led after Federico Bernardeschi had scored. The Italian striker was brilliant, making twists and turns in the box before nudging the ball through Miami goalkeeper Drake Callender.

Messi played the entire match and was instrumental in Inter Miami’s attack. However, he found himself crowded out by Toronto’s defenders for much of the game. Despite his best efforts to create chances, Messi lacked sufficient support from his teammates in the second half, which prevented him from leading his team to victory.
