Lionel Messi scored his third consecutive brace in Inter Miami’s win over FC Dallas in the round of 16. Not only that, but he’s scored in every match he’s played in and has scored the first foal of the match in his last three matches. Here are Messi’s impressive stats.
Although he came into the match as a sub in his first Inter Miami CF appearance, Messi has started in each of the last three matches. In all of those matches, he’s scored a brace. In his first start against Atlanta United FC, he scored in the 8th and 22nd minutes.
In his first match playing a full 90 minutes, a 3-1 win over Orlando City, Messi scored in the 7th minute to open the scoring and then sealed the win with a goal in the 72nd minute.
Here are those goals:
This Sunday night, Messi was the hero in a win over FC Dallas. He made it 1-0 in the 6th minute of the match and then scored a dramatic 85th-minute equalizer off a free kick to force the match into penalties.
It wasn’t his first dramatic free kick goal. In his debut match against Cruz Azul, he drilled a stoppage time winner from a free kick to give his team a 2-1 win.
At present, Messi’s seven goals makes him the tournament leader. Will he continue his scoring streak in Leagues Cup 2023?
