Messi Breaks MLS Record With RUTHLESS Brace | Inter Miami vs Atlanta United | Full Match Highlights

It is a gorgeous night in South Florida. The conditions are close to perfect and Luis Suarez over the ball. Will Messi, the Miami captain, buy some time. Plays out wide. Allende's cross broken up. Wegant. Not getting good enough possession to allow the back three-stroke back five to get up the pitch. Over the top. Messi in the 18. Settles off the chest. Oh, coming out to challenge was Hibbert, who made the save. What a fine moment for the 21-year-old keeper. Intercept by Inter-Miami. Atlanta not out of the woods yet. Suarez, right. Taken instead. Busquets. Messi again. Top of the box. Closed down by four. Messi. Continues on Lionel Messi. On a bounce. Handled. Alonso, the former Inter-Miami man, played across. Taken here and a shot goes off the side of the net. And the flag does go up, but that was Chong-Kui with the shot attempt. Wasn't it? He scored twice in the early stages of the playoff Game 3 win. Here comes Messi after the takeaway. Throw and a shot. That was Messi. Then a strike. With the goal by the greatest there's ever been. Platter, it's 1-0 Herons. Yeah, it's brilliant, but one thing I would say. We said about Alonso, don't try and play through the middle. Muyambar does exactly that all of a sudden. No lane for him. Atlanta lays this off.
