Match Report
Not even a goal from Lionel Messi could have stopped Inter Miami from falling victim to a barrage of goals from Atlanta United as the top team in MLS fell on Wednesday night.
A brace from winger Saba Lobzhandize opened the scoring at 2-0 for the Five Stripes who played on the road in Fort Lauderdale.
There was brief hope when the Argentine World Cup winner bagged a goal in the 62nd minute to draw The Herons back within one.
But eleven minutes later, Atlanta's Jamal Thiare perfectly timed his run to receive a low cross and stuck his foot on the end of it to send it past keeper Drake Callender.
This marks the team's first defeat in MLS since they lost 4-0 on the road to the New York Red Bulls back on March 23.

This is the first time Messi has lost a match he has scored in since Argentina's loss to Saudi Arabia in their opening match of the 2022 World Cup. It's the first time at the club level since Barca's loss to Celta Vigo in May 2021 😳

Last world cup, Saudi Arabia beat Argentina in first match breaking Argentina 52 unbeaten run and all cr5 fans were so happy and they laughed and said all kinds of things but at the end it was cr5 who cry last, cr5 wept like a little kid girl when morroco destroyed and knocked him out of the world cup at group stage while Messi won the world cup and won best player award. So he who laugh last laugh best. Cr5 will forever come behind Messi, that's is how it is meant to be.
