Lionel Messi scored twice to help Inter Miami secure a 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew, winning the MLS Supporters’ Shield for the first time in the club’s history.
Messi’s goals, including a sublime free-kick, gave Miami a solid lead before Diego Rossi and Cucho Hernandez scored for Columbus.
A goal from Luis Suarez ensured Miami’s win, which secured them the top spot in the MLS standings and home advantage in the post-season playoffs. This marks Messi’s 46th career trophy, and Miami now aims to break the MLS points record in the final two league matches.
