MLS Top Scorer, Messi Approaches 100th Goal in American League; See Stunning Goal in Inter Miami's Draw

oglobo13 September 2026 at 14:32

Lionel Messi scored a stunning goal in the draw between Inter Miami and Nashville in MLS on Saturday, reaching 99 goals for the Florida team. The Argentine opened the scoring with a placed half-volley from the edge of the area, a goal typical of his style.

With the goal scored, Messi took sole possession of the American league's top scorer title with 19 goals in the season. Before the equalizer, he also squandered a clear chance to secure the victory after dribbling past the goalkeeper, but Inter Miami conceded the equalizing goal in stoppage time.

The Argentine now has 928 career goals, approaching the thousand professional goals milestone. Inter Miami remained in second place in MLS with 45 points, nine points behind Nashville, the league leader with 54 points.

Why this matters

This result matters for Inter Miami fans and Messi's followers in the region, as it shows the Argentine getting ever closer to the historic 100-goal mark in MLS, reinforcing his impact on the American league. Additionally, Messi's individual performance as the sole top scorer directly influences the race for the regular season title.
