**Miami, FL** – Lionel Messi ended a four-game goal drought and helped Inter Miami break a three-game losing streak with a resounding 4-1 victory over the New York Red Bulls at DRV PNK Stadium on Saturday. The win propels Miami to fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
The match saw a dominant performance from the home side. Fafa Picault opened the scoring in the ninth minute, followed by a controversial goal from Marcelo Weigandt in the 30th minute, initially flagged offside before being confirmed after a VAR review. Luis Suarez added a third before halftime, only for Omar Valencia to pull one back for the Red Bulls just before the break.
Messi’s moment arrived in the 67th minute, as he expertly finished a one-two with Telasco Segovia, beating the Red Bulls goalkeeper with a precise left-footed shot. The goal was a significant boost for both Messi and the team, ending a period of frustration for the Argentinian superstar.
Elsewhere in MLS action, Dylan Chambost scored his first MLS goal in Columbus Crew’s 4-2 win over Charlotte, while the Philadelphia Union edged out Montreal 2-1, and D.C. United defeated the Colorado Rapids 2-1. The Columbus Crew now lead the Eastern Conference with 24 points.
