Lionel Messi delivered a stunning performance, scoring two goals to lead Inter Miami to a 4-2 victory over Atletico de San Luis in the Leagues Cup. These were his first goals since Argentina's World Cup final defeat by Spain, marking a significant return to form. Messi's brace, netted in the 11th and 44th minutes, also propelled him to become the all-time leading scorer in the tournament's history.

Inter Miami overcame an early deficit, with Telasco Segovia and Micael also finding the net, and Noah Allen contributing three assists. The win extends Miami's unbeaten streak to eight matches, highlighting their strong momentum in the competition. Messi's crucial contributions are vital for Miami, especially with teammate Luis Suarez currently serving a suspension.
