Lionel netted Inter’s 1st and last goals in a phenomenal game that ended 4-4 in the regular time before scoring his penalty in the shootout and helping his side to advance to the ¼ finals.
The Argentinian World Cup winner’s 1st goal outside of Florida for Miami came again after a left-footed strike outside the penalty area in the 6th minute as the assist gave his ex-Barcelona teammate Jordi Alba.
Leo netted in all 4 matches that he played for Inter, as he has scored 7 goals.
Dallas had a 4-2 lead after Robert Taylor’s own goal in the 68th minute, but the side from Texas also gave an own goal in the 80th minute when Marco Farfan headed the ball to his own net from Messi’s freekick.
HE DID IT AGAIN. 🤯
