400 assists in his career! Lionel Messi helps Inter Miami advance to the next round of the MLS playoffs
Inter Miami confidently secured a spot in the next round of the MLS playoffs, demolishing Nashville 4-0 on home turf. The main star of the match was once again Lionel Messi, who delivered two goals and an assist, hitting a new milestone for career assists.
Details: Javier Mascherano's team took control from the opening whistle, leaving their opponents without a single chance.
Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a stunning strike that sent the keeper the wrong way—he didn’t even move.
By the 39th minute, the Argentine icon doubled the lead. Messi was set up for a shot and calmly slotted home from the edge of the box into an open net.
After the break, Mascherano’s side continued to dominate. First, Jordi Alba provided an assist for Tadeo Allende, and then Allende scored again—this time from a brilliant pass by Lionel Messi, who registered his landmark 400th career assist.
As a result, Inter Miami advances to the MLS playoff quarterfinals, where they’ll face FC Cincinnati. The opening match kicks off on November 22 at 01:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: Former Inter Miami coach Martino has taken charge of Atlanta United.
