Lionel Messi extends MLS record-breaking streak, scoring two goals against Nashville SC
Lionel Messi celebrates after scoring his first goal on July CNN Newsource Lionel Messi scored two goals in Inter Miami's 2-1 victory over Nashville SC on Saturday, extending his record-breaking streak of scoring multiple goals in a Major League Soccer game to five. Victory marked Miami's fifth consecutive win too and snapped Nashville's 15-match unbeaten streak in the league. Messi opened the scoring in the 17th minute, threading a free kick from just outside the box through a hole in Nashville's defensive wall and into the corner of the net, past the outstretched fingertips of goalkeeper Joe Willis. That gave Miami a 1-0 lead until Nashville equalized just after halftime when Hany Mukhtar headed in Andy Nájar's perfectly-weighted cross. A little over 10 minutes later, Messi put Miami back in front, capitalizing on a mistake from Willis who simply passed the ball to the Argentinian as he tried to clear it. Although Willis tried to atone for his lapse in concentration, Messi simply dribbled the ball around him and fired in an easy winner. Not since 2012 when he played for Barcelona has Messi scored more than one goal in five consecutive league games, according to ESPN – though, admittedly, LaLiga is a very different league to the MLS. 'There aren't very many words. It's incredible what he continues to do,' Miami head coach Javier Mascherano told reporters afterward, per MLS. 'To break great records now every three days… I've said it a thousand times today; he is the flag for our team. 'He is the one. He's the leader. He shows us the way to compete.' Messi has scored 16 goals so far this season – with 10 of those, as well as five assists – coming in his last five games. Miami, meanwhile, is fifth in the Eastern Conference but with three games in hand on all the teams above them. A win in all three games – while no small feat – would put the team top of the league.

Lionel Messi Continues Run Of Braces In Inter Miami's Win Over Nashville
Last Updated: Messi opened the scoring in the 17th minute for Miami, but Nashville's Hany Mukhtar pegged his side back in the 49th minute before Messi settled the game in the 62nd minute. Argentine superstar Lionel Messi struck yet another brace in the MLS on Sunday as he helped Inter Miami to a 2-1 win over Nashville at the Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Messi opened the scoring in the 17th minute of the game to put the Herons in the lead, but Nashville's Hany Mukhtar pegged his side back in the 49th minute before Messi settled the game in the 62nd minute. El mejor de todos los tiempos 🎯😮💨 #Messi — Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) July 13, 2025 Segundo gol de la noche para el capitán ⚽⚽✨ — Inter Miami CF (@InterMiamiCF) July 13, 2025 ALSO READ| 'Symbol And Emblem': Santi Cazorla Inks New Deal With Real Oviedo Following Promotion Messi became the first player in the history of the league to score more than a goal in five consecutive regular-season games with his brace against Nashville. Messi got the scoreboard ticking with a freekick in the first half of the game as the Miami-based side took a slender one-goal advantage into the break. But Nashville clawed their way back on level terms against the David Beckham-owned side as Mukhtar restored parity early in the second half. Messi's streak of scoring two goals in a match began with Miami's 4-2 victory over Montreal and continued with his double against Columbus in his team's 5-1 win. The Argentine World Cup winner maintained his form as he returned to MLS action following the team's participation in the revamped edition of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. He again scored twice in Miami's 4-1 triumph over Montreal before his performance against New England Revolution, where he netted twice in a 2-1 win. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
