Messi shines, Miami doesn't win: spectacular match in Philadelphia

In another thrilling MLS showdown, the Philadelphia Union hosted Inter Miami on their home turf. The game delivered high drama and ended in a breathtaking 3-3 draw.

Details: The hosts came out firing and took the lead as early as the seventh minute. Lionel Messi’s side enjoyed more possession, but once again, it was the visitors who made their chances count—doubling their advantage to 2-0 in the dying moments of the first half.
After the break, Miami continued to press with the ball and managed to pull one back. Still, by the closing stages, Philadelphia had restored their two-goal cushion. But Miami never gave up: thanks to late heroics from Messi and Segovia, they salvaged a point, closing out the match at 3-3.

It’s worth highlighting Lionel Messi’s performance and his stunning free-kick strike that made it 3-2—his ninth goal contribution of the season.

Despite their efforts, Miami’s winless streak has now stretched to four matches: two draws and two defeats. Next up, Mascherano’s squad will host Montreal, the bottom team in the league.
