Inter Miami beat CF Montreal 7-1 in Major League Soccer, ending a five-game winless streak as Lionel Messi scored four goals. Multiple outlets describe the match as a dominant performance that swung decisively after Montreal briefly drew level, before Miami pulled away with additional goals.
Reports consistently highlight Messi’s influence throughout the game, including at least one free-kick strike. While all sources agree on the 4-goal haul and the final score, they differ slightly in emphasis: some focus on the stoppage-time or late timing of particular goals, while others stress the quality of Messi’s free-kick and his overall match control. One outlet also notes that he provides an assist, and that Casemiro and Luis Suárez contributed to Miami’s scoring.
Overall, the coverage frames the result as a sharp turnaround for Miami after a difficult stretch, with several outlets adding context about Montreal’s struggles during the match. The common thread is that Messi’s four-goal performance drives a record-setting-style rout and gives Miami a needed lift in the league.
