Lionel Messi was once again on the scoresheet as Inter Miami claimed a crucial 2-1 victory over Atlanta United in the Major League Soccer (MLS) showdown on Sunday. The win marked Miami’s sweet revenge for last season’s playoff elimination at the hands of Atlanta and propelled them to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The winning goal came in the 89th minute when Fafa Picault, a veteran Haiti international, delivered a powerful header to seal the victory for Miami. Picault rose to meet a pinpoint cross from former Barcelona defender Jordi Alba, directing a downward header past a diving Brad Guzan at the far post.
Match Highlights
The game began with Atlanta seizing the early momentum, striking in the 11th minute through Emmanuel Latte Lath, an Ivory Coast international. Latte Lath capitalized on a perfect cross from Brooks Lennon, which followed a deep pass down the right flank by Miguel Almiron. His header looped over Miami’s keeper to put Atlanta ahead. However, Messi responded swiftly in the 20th minute, taking advantage of poor defending by Atlanta. Polish midfielder Bartosz Silsz lost possession on the edge of the area, allowing Messi to intercept the ball. The Argentine star then danced past defender Derrick Williams before delicately lifting the ball over Guzan to equalize.
The second half remained an intense back-and-forth encounter, with both sides creating promising chances. Atlanta’s Tristan Muyumba came close to restoring Atlanta's lead with a long-range strike that Miami’s goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo tipped onto the woodwork. Meanwhile, Brad Guzan produced a standout performance in goal for Atlanta, making a series of impressive saves to deny Messi multiple times. The veteran goalkeeper's crucial block with an outstretched leg in the 65th minute kept Atlanta’s hopes alive.
