Messi`s impact was crucial in Inter Miami`s 1-0 win over Columbus Crew, maintaining their unbeaten MLS record.

Lionel Messi played a pivotal role in Inter Miami`s hard-fought 1-0 victory against the previously unbeaten Columbus Crew in Ohio. The match showcased Messi`s influence as he completed the full 90 minutes, generating four shots, including one on target, alongside two crosses and five corners, significantly contributing to Miami`s attacking strategy despite not finding the back of the net himself.

The only goal of the match came from an unfortunate own goal by a Columbus Crew center back, sealing the win for Inter Miami. This victory extends their unbeaten streak in the MLS, now boasting five wins and three draws this season. Attendance figures for this match were not disclosed, but previous games have attracted record crowds, such as the 62,300 attendees at Soldier Field against Chicago Fire.

Concerns arose regarding Messi`s fitness as he appeared to struggle towards the end of the match, raising questions about potential injuries, as noted by former USMNT star Taylor Twellman. Nevertheless, Inter Miami is gearing up for their upcoming CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-final against Vancouver Whitecaps, where Messi`s performance will be crucial in their quest for major silverware. His teammate Luis Suarez has also mentioned Messi`s ambition to play in the 2026 World Cup to help Argentina defend their title.
