Follow usLionel Messi continues to light up the scene, scoring in third straight game and had his second consecutive multi-goal performance for Inter Miami in a 3-1 victory over Orlando City on Wednesday.
Messi scored seven minutes into the match then added a second strike in the 72nd minute. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner already has five goals in three games since his highly-anticipated MLS debut on July 21.
Messi received a pass from Robert Taylor on his chest, dribbled a couple of yards near the edge of the 6-yard box and converted a shot that landed under the crossbar, giving Miami the lead before Orlando tied it 11 minutes later.
