Lionel Messi took just two minutes to score and netted the eventual winning goal as Inter Miami CF defeated the Philadelphia Union 2–1 on Saturday night at Chase Stadium.
While the Union put up a substantial fight as the higher-ranked team coming into the match, Miami's early attacks and goals from Robert Taylor and Messi proved too much for them to overcome. With the win, Miami overtook Philadelphia for the top spot in the MLS Eastern Conference and remained undefeated with a draw and four wins.
