Lionel Messi bags 2 goals and 1 assist as Inter Miami bounces back with a 3-1 win against Nashville.

Leading Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over Nashville SC, Lionel Messi maintained his dominant play in the Major League Soccer.

With two goals and an assist, the Argentine sensation extended his league-leading goal tally to seven and his run of six games with either a goal or an assist.

Messi masterminded the comeback, even though Miami defender Franco Neri's own goal gave Nashville the lead in just the second minute.

His deflected shot found its way to Luis Suarez in the eleventh minute, setting up Messi for a tap-in equalizer.
