Lionel Messi has started the new season strongly with Inter Miami CF, showcasing impressive skills and a keen eye for goal. In the Concacaf Champions Cup second leg against Sporting Kansas City, Messi netted an eye-catching half-volley, contributing to a significant 4-0 aggregate lead for his team. This goal follows his earlier strike in the first leg of the tie and is complemented by his two assists during Miami's league opener. His consistent performance highlights his key role in the team's attacking prowess as he enters his second full season in Major League Soccer.
Messi first corralled a Luis Suárez cross via a deft touch with his chest, before letting the ball bounce and firing a half-volley past Kansas City keeper John Pulskamp at the near post.
The half-volley marked a continuation of a strong start to Messi's second full season in Major League soccer.
In addition to his goals in each leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup, the veteran forward also tallied a pair of assists in Inter Miami's opening game of league play.
Inter Miami would run away with the tie later in the match, as Tadeo Allende and Suárez both found the back of the net before halftime.
