MLS: Messi scores again as Inter Miami enter Leagues Cup semis

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi's goalscoring streak lives on, as does Inter Miami's winning streak.

Messi scored in the 86th minute, his eighth goal in five matches with his new club, and Inter Miami rolled past Charlotte 4-0 in a Leagues Cup quarter-final game on Friday night.

Messi has scored in all five of his appearances with Miami. Next up for Messi and his new club: A semifinal game on Tuesday against either Mexican club Queretaro or Philadelphia Union.

Charlotte almost found a way to keep him off the scoresheet. Almost. Josef Martinez and Robert Thomas also had goals for Inter Miami, an own goal set up by some serious Messi pressure late in the second half resulted in another score, and then Messi provided the perfect clincher in the final moments.
