Argentine star Lionel Messi scored two goals within four minutes, leading Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over host Atlanta United, as the team’s push to defend its Major League Soccer title gains momentum ahead of the playoffs. The 39-year-old Messi extended his lead in the league’s scoring charts with 25 goals, ahead of Croatian striker Petar Musa of FC Dallas (20) and Milan Iloski of Philadelphia (19). At the same Atlanta stadium where Messi shone during the North American World Cup, the Argentine star netted two brilliant goals to secure Inter Miami’s third consecutive win. Saint Louis City’s unbeaten streak in MLS came to an end at 19 matches after they fell to host Minnesota 2-3.
