  Messi Closes In On 1,000-Goal Mark Messi scored his latest goal in the 26th minute, when he shook off his marker and found the net with a left-footed finish. With his 13th MLS goal of the year, he is now only one goal behind Petar Musa. Messi is currently 78 goals shy of reaching the 1,000-goal milestone, which would add another remarkable chapter to his already illustrious career. His career total currently stands at 922 goals. Among active players, only Cristiano Ronaldo is now closer to reaching this milestone. Ronaldo has 976 career goals and has stated that the 2026-2027 season might be his final one.    

Inter Miami Held To 2-2 Draw Inter Miami's match against Philadelphia Union at Subaru Park ended in a 2-2 draw despite Messi's goal and assist. Indiana Vassilev gave Philadelphia an early lead, but Miami rallied and led at the half. After halftime, Philadelphia tied the score with a header from Jakob Glesnes, but a late goal by Milan Iloski was disallowed for offside following a VAR review. As a result, Philadelphia lost the opportunity to win five straight games, and Miami was unable to snap its three-game losing run. Messi's career now has another incredible chapter thanks to the 922-goal milestone, but his immediate focus will still be helping Inter Miami through the rest of the MLS season. The Argentine continues to compete at the top level and create crucial moments at the age of 39.
