Inter Miami snap a five-game winless streak with a 7-1 rout of CF Montreal in Major League Soccer, powered by Lionel Messi’s four-goal performance. Multiple reports describe an emphatic turnaround for Miami after a difficult run of results, with the match becoming one-sided after Montreal briefly drew level.

Across outlets, the goal sequence is broadly consistent: Miami falls into a 1-1 situation before Messi breaks the tie just before halftime. He then adds more goals, including at least one free-kick, and scores again after the restart to put the game beyond reach. The Athletic and other reports focus on the scale of Messi’s impact in the night, while other outlets highlight specific moments such as free kicks and the timing of his goals.

Different sources also emphasize surrounding context. Some note Miami’s record 7-1 scoreline and their dominance after Montreal’s equaliser, while others highlight that it is Messi’s first four-goal match in MLS and a return to his earlier prolific scoring form. Details such as additional scorers vary slightly by report, but the shared headline is Messi leading Miami to a heavy win and ending their winless stretch.
