""He could have had three and it speaks to his greatness as a player that he gave up a penalty to Mateo," said defender Falcon, discussing a spot kick awarded after Argentinian Silvetti was brought down by goalkeeper Luis Barraza while chasing Messi's pass. "That's the humility that he continues to have despite everything he's done and won in his career.""
""Seeing what he does from playing behind him is incredible," said Falcon. "When he shapes up to use his left foot, we know that if it's not a goal then it's going to be very dangerous. "It's always important for us to have him in the team - not only for his goals and assists, but also for what he demands of you in every match and instils in you, wearing the shirt.""
Lionel Messi provided an assist and scored twice as Inter Miami beat DC United 3-2 at home. Messi's pass from inside his own half set up Tadeo Allende's 35th-minute opener. Christian Benteke equalised in the 52nd minute with a header from Brandon Servania's cross, and Messi then hit the crossbar. Messi collected Jordi Alba's low pass and restored Miami's lead in the 66th minute before adding a second from a central position outside the box five minutes from time. Messi handed Mateo Silvetti a penalty, which struck the crossbar, and now has 22 MLS goals this season.
