In the match between Inter Miami and Philadelphia Union in the 2024 US Major League Soccer, the home team won 2-1 thanks to a brace from superstar Lionel Messi.

Playing at home, Inter Miami was shocked when Philadelphia Union opened the scoring after only 2 minutes. Mikael Uhre took advantage of a mistake by defender Tomas Aviles to put the ball into the net of goalkeeper Drake Callender.

The early loss stunned Inter Miami and many home fans feared the team would soon "collapse" despite fielding four veteran stars: Alba, Busquets, Messi and Suarez.

But thanks to the former Barca stars, Inter Miami quickly regained their spirit and tried to create pressure to get an equalizer. However, Inter Miami had many difficulties in organizing attacks when Philadelphia Union played very good defense.

They even almost conceded another goal if it weren't for some excellent saves from goalkeeper Callender. Luckily, Inter Miami didn't concede any more goals, and finally found a goal thanks to superstar Lionel Messi.

In the 26th minute, from a cross pass from his teammate and close friend Luis Suarez, Messi had a beautiful diagonal shot, sending the ball into the far corner of the goal, equalizing 1-1 for Inter Miami.

Just 4 minutes later, Messi once again put his name on the scoreboard with the second goal after Alba's assist. Thus, in the first half, Inter Miami came back to take the lead against Philadelphia Union.

Entering the second half, while Philadelphia Union tried to push up their attacking formation, Inter Miami played slowly and steadily. Therefore, not many opportunities were created.

It wasn't until the 90+8 minute that the third goal appeared, and this time, Luis Suarez scored and the person who assisted him scored was Messi. With this victory, Inter Miami continued to lead the Eastern Conference standings with 62 points after 28 matches. Meanwhile, Philadelphia Union remained in 11th place with 30 points.
