NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Lionel Messi scored his second career MLS hat trick in Inter Miami’s 5-2 win over Nashville SC on Saturday night, nearly a year after his first goal.<\/p>\n

Messi last scored a hat-trick in the first leg on October 19, 2024. Miami beat New England Revolution 6-2<\/span>. This was his 19th hat trick of the 2025 MLS season. <\/p>\n

He scored his first goal of the match in the 35th minute from the top of the box, giving Inter Miami a 1-0 lead. <\/p>\n

Messi won a penalty in the 63rd minute and scored to tie the score at 2-2.<\/p>\n

He completed his hat trick in the 81st minute with a left-footed shot from the center of the box, increasing Inter Miami’s lead to 4-2. <\/p>\n

Messi currently leads MLS with 29 goals and is favored to be a finalist for the Golden Boot as league MVP. He is five goals ahead of fellow Golden Boot finalist Dennis Bouanga of Los Angeles FC.<\/p>\n
