Messi's Miami cling to second spot on dramatic final MLS day
- On Saturday, Lionel Messi provided two assists as Inter Miami drew 3-3 with Charlotte at Nu Stadium, securing home-field advantage for at least their opening two playoff rounds.
- Inter Miami finished the regular season second with 60 points after the New England Revolution lost to Orlando, positioning them to face the Columbus Crew in the playoffs.
- Ian Fray, Luis Suarez, and Rodrigo De Paul scored first-half goals, but Charlotte's comeback featured Liel Abada's brace and Rodolfo Aloko's 90th-minute equalizer in the 3-3 draw.
- With 26 goals this season, Messi is favored to win his second consecutive MLS Golden Boot, though FC Dallas's Petar Musa would need five goals to surpass him.
- Elsewhere, the Western Conference champion Vancouver Whitecaps beat Montreal 2-0 to claim the second overall seed, while Nashville broke the all-time MLS points record with 77.
