Messi reaches Inter Miami milestone as winless run stretches to five

Lionel Messi reached a personal milestone but could not prevent Inter Miami from suffering another setback, as Toronto secured a 2-1 victory at Nu Stadium on Saturday. According to Pulse Sports Nigeria, Toronto scored twice shortly after half-time through Josh Sargent and Derrick Etienne Jr. before Messi pulled one back late on.

The defeat leaves Miami without a win in their last five matches across all competitions, with the club conceding 13 goals during the poor run. Messi’s goal was his 140th goal contribution for Miami, taking his 2026 MLS tally to 14 goals and eight assists.
