In the MLS
Double pack! Lionel Messi secures a title for Miami
Inter Miami with Lionel Messi have won the Supporters Shield in the US soccer championship MLS. Messi played a key role in the 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew on Wednesday (local time) with two goals shortly before the break.
This success means that Miami can no longer be displaced from first place in the table in the two remaining rounds. The Florida club therefore has home advantage throughout the play-offs.
Schöpf and Wolf already in the play-offs
Alessandro Schöpf with the Vancouver Whitecaps and Hannes Wolf with New York City FC are also already in the play-offs. David Schnegg still has a chance with D.C. United, but would have to win the two remaining games. The play-off starts at the end of October. The MLS Cup final is scheduled for December 7.
Free-kick goal
Messi made it 1-0 in Columbus in the 45th minute and also made it 2-0 with a direct free-kick from long range (45.+5).
After the home side had opened the scoring, Luis Suarez made it 3:1 for Miami (48'). Inter goalkeeper Drake Callender saved a penalty at the end. It was Messi's fifth brace of the MLS season, taking his tally to 17 goals in 17 games.
