FC Cincinnati 3-5 Inter Miami CF: Messi hits brace

⭐ Key Players

• Lionel Messi scored 2; his initially credited third became an own goal in Inter Miami's 3-5 win.
• Roman Celentano was charged with an own goal as FC Cincinnati conceded 5 in the 3-5 loss.

Inter Miami turned a level first half into a runaway road result. The scoreboard was 1-1 after the opening period, then 4-2 to the visitors in the second half, building the 5-3 final score.

The report says Messi struck twice and briefly looked set for a hat-trick when another Miami goal was first credited to him. That was later logged as a Celentano own goal, leaving Messi with a brace as the visitors finished with five.

There was also a brief interruption during the game. The report says a supporter ran onto the pitch and headed toward Messi before security stepped in, formed a barrier around him and escorted the fan away. Play continued after the delay, and Cincinnati could not recover. Those swings gave the match its shape - and delivered the key highlights in a wild MLS summary.
