Inter Miami secured an emphatic 4-0 home victory over D.C. United in a Major League Soccer (MLS) regular-season clash played on October 10 local time.
As reported by İdman.Biz, Lionel Messi was once again the standout performer for the Herons, scoring twice to help his team claim a convincing win.
The 39-year-old Argentine captain has now scored 23 goals in the current MLS campaign, further strengthening his position at the top of the league's scoring charts.
Messi has extended his advantage over his closest challenger, FC Dallas forward Petar Musa, who has 19 goals. The four-goal gap puts the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner in a strong position in the race for the MLS Golden Boot.
Despite approaching his 40th birthday, Messi continues to demonstrate his remarkable goalscoring ability and remains a central figure in Inter Miami's attacking play.
The Argentine joined Inter Miami in the summer of 2023 following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain and has since transformed the club into one of the most closely followed teams in North American football.
With the regular season approaching its conclusion, Messi's individual performances could prove decisive both in the Golden Boot race and in Inter Miami's ambitions for the remainder of the campaign.
