Philadelphia Union vs Inter Miami
Miami's Messi magic stuns Union
A thrilling 2-2 draw sees Inter Miami snatch a point with Messi's early strike.
Philadelphia Union looked set for a comfortable win after I. Vassilev's early goal, but Inter Miami responded swiftly with Daniel Pinter and Lionel Messi scoring within 15 minutes to turn the tide. Neil Pierre's second-half equaliser ensured the Union salvaged a draw in a match full of attacking intent. This result defied Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a 3-1 home win, proving Miami's resilience and Messi's influence too strong to overlook.
