In the 20th minute, Lionel Messi delivered a remarkable long-range strike, propelling Inter Miami to a 2-0 advantage against the Philadelphia Union.

This goal not only widened Messi's lead in the Golden Boot race but also positioned Inter Miami on a path towards a potential finals berth, assuming the current outcome remains unchanged.

Their objective now is to maintain their 2-0 lead against the Union and effectively manage the rest of the match to secure their position.
