Golazos! Messi back to scoring amazing goals for Inter Miami

Lionel Messi scored a pair of spectacular goals, including the tie-breaker late in the first half, as Inter Miami defeated CF Montreal 4-1 on Saturday night.

Luis Suarez directed a long ball from Tomas Aviles to Messi with a header, who had time to gather the ball, dribble into the box and finish with his left foot to the far post to make it 2-1 in the 40th minute.
