Lionel Messi leaded Inter Miami into the semifinals of the Leagues Cup.

The first half was a walk in the park for Inter Miami, because, as has become the custom in games for David Beckham's team, they took the lead very early in the game. At minute 12, Josef Martinez scored a penalty goal, a penalty that Lionel Messi gave to the Venezuelan.

Twenty minutes later, Inter Miami generated a magical play with many passes in the three-quarter zone of the field, and DeAndre Yedlin crossed the ball to Robert Taylor, who did not miss the opportunity and scored 2-0. Lionel Messi was key in the play, because, although he did not touch the ball, he distracted 3 defenders who stayed with it.

The second half was a completely different match from the first half, as there was not much attempt to attack by Lionel Messi and Inter Miami, as they were comfortable with the 2-0 score. However, an own goal by Adilson Malanda set what seemed to be the final 3-0 on the scoreboard, but it was not.

Messi scored the fourth at the end:

At the end of the game, Leonardo Campana assisted Lionel Messi for the final 4-0, the Argentine had to wait until the 86th minute to continue his scoring streak, now he has eight goals in five games with Inter Miami.
