REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, FLORIDA — Lionel Messi has scored another goal for Inter Miami this season. Most recently, Messi tore Atalanta United’s net in the 2024 United States Soccer League (MLS).
Unfortunately, La Pulga’s actions have not been able to provide anything positive for their team. The Herons lost 1-3 to Atalanta at Chase Stadium, Florida, Thursday (30/5/2024). Vice City’s 10-game winning streak in MLS has finally come to an end.
Football shows its magic. From the start, Inter Miami was favored to be the winner. There are many factors underlying this.
Gerardo Martino’s polished squad performed at home. Tens of thousands of fans are behind them. Plus, Luis Suarez and his colleagues are serving a team that hasn’t won in MLS for almost the last two months.
What happens on the pitch is different. Saba Lobzhanidze’s two goals (44′ and 59′), as well as Jamal Thiare’s effort (73′) found the back of the hosts’ net. Messi’s kick in the 62nd minute gave Inter Miami hope. But in the end the visitors moved away again.
“We lost our spurs. I think this was a night where the team experienced a setback compared to other matches,” said Martino, quoted from apnews.com.
This result has not changed the Herons’ position. Messi et al are still on the throne of the MLS eastern region standings for the 2024 season. By pocketing 34 points, Vice City is one point ahead of FC Cincinnati in the runner up seat.
However, the situation may change. The reason is, Inter Miami has appeared in 17 matches. His closest competitor has only completed 16 matches.
The Herons are halfway through the regular phase. Their current point tally is the same as last season’s overall tally. This means there is potential for significant improvement in the 2024 edition.
However, the defeat against Atalanta gave an important message not to let your guard down. A danger alarm sounds if that happens.
Despite this defeat. La Pulga is consistently showing impressive performance at the individual level. The Argentinian striker has scored 12 goals for Vice City this season. A total of 11 of them occurred on the MLS stage.
