NEW DELHI: Lionel Messi showcased his brilliance by scoring twice and setting up another goal for Sergio Busquets, leading Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over Nashville on Saturday in a captivating Major League Soccer encounter and maintaining their top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Miami faced an early setback when defender Franco Negri inadvertently deflected a corner into his own net in the second minute, giving Nashville an early lead. However, Messi quickly turned the tide in Miami's favor, equalizing in the 11th minute after Luis Suarez directed a loose ball back to him following a parried shot.
