Messi scores emotional first goal since father's death
- On Wednesday, Inter Miami forward Lionel Messi scored his first goal since his father Jorge's death, netting a left-footed shot in the 26th minute at Subaru Park during a 2-2 Major League Soccer draw with the Philadelphia Union.
- Inter Miami honored Jorge, who died August 8 at age 68 in Rosario, Argentina, with a pre-match moment of silence and a 10th-minute chant recognizing the Argentinian superstar's jersey number.
- Messi also recorded an assist on a goal by American Daniel Pinter, bringing his season tally to 13 goals, one behind Dallas striker Petar Musa in the Golden Boot race.
- The 2-2 result ended a three-game losing streak for defending MLS Cup champions Miami, though the team remains winless in four matches and trails Eastern Conference leaders Nashville by seven points.
- In an emotional tribute last week, Messi described Jorge as his representative and friend, admitting he did not know how to continue without him following the loss.
