Messi scores four as Inter Miami thrash Montreal 7-1 to end winless run

In a dominant display, Lionel Messi scored four goals as Inter Miami defeated Montreal 7-1 in a Major League Soccer (MLS) match, ending their five-game winless streak. The game took place at Nu Stadium in Miami, Florida, on August 29, 2026. Inter Miami had struggled since returning from the World Cup, losing four of their last five games prior to this match. However, they regained their winning form with a strong performance, while Montreal, already near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, failed to mount a significant challenge. Casemiro opened the scoring for Miami in the 20th minute, and despite Montreal equalizing in the 37th minute, Miami quickly responded. Messi's free-kick in the 40th minute gave them the lead again, followed by two more goals from the Argentine legend in the second half. Luis Suarez added a fourth goal for Miami, assisted by Messi, and the match concluded with Messi scoring his fourth goal in stoppage time. This result positions Inter Miami in second place in the Eastern Conference, seven points behind the current league leaders, Nashville.
