Lionel Messi's great goal did not prevent Inter Miami from being equal 3-3 against St. Louis City [Video]

Inter Miami led by Lionel Messi could not take advantage of the defeat that FC Cincinnati suffered last Wednesday by drawing 3-3 against St. Louis City, despite a great goal from the Argentine just 25 minutes into the first half.

The goal that Messi repeats year after year when teaming up with the Spanish full-back Jordi Alba occurred again as a more than copied play, which ended up meaning the first goal for the locals.

In the middle of the first half, the Argentine handled the ball to open towards the left wing where Alba received and without hesitation, launched a low cross that meant the score was 1-1 after the left-footed shot of the 10, close to the defended right post. by former Borussia Dortmund, Roman Burki.

The goal not only marked his 12th goal of the season, but also made him the fastest player to reach 25 goal contributions in the fewest number of games (12), surpassing what was done by Carlos Vela who reached the record with 16 meetings.

Curiously, after a few minutes the same 1-1 play was repeated but this time Messi’s shot found Burki well stopped to maintain equality.

Inter Miami was forced to try to come back three times after goals from Chris Durkin (15′), Indiana Vassilev (41′) and Luis Suárez (68′), who was scored for a goal from the gunman himself (45+5) and another from Alba at the end (85′).

In this way, Inter Miami manages to reach 35 points and maintains its distance from Cincinnati, which has accumulated 33, although with two games less than the 18 games that the Florida team has played.
