Messi’s scoring streak in consecutive games for Inter Miami came to an end after suffering a painful 3-0 loss to Cincinnati in MLS matchday 22.
Inter Miami had a golden opportunity to close the gap on MLS leaders Cincinnati, but Lionel Messi’s side were thrashed by the home side in a match that was a nightmare for the Argentine star.
The former Barcelona star had scored a brace in four of his last five MLS games for Inter Miami, but Cincinnati snapped that run to leave the Miami-based side sitting fifth on 38 points, although they still have three games in hand.
The Orange and Blue opened the scoring in the first half through Valenzuela, and Brazilian striker Evander secured the win for the home side with a second-half brace. Check out the highlights of the match.
