Nashville’s Late Equaliser Holds Messi and Inter Miami to Draw

Inter Miami were held to a 2-2 draw by Nashville SC after a late equaliser denied Lionel Messi’s side victory, while preserving Nashville’s nine-point advantage at the summit of the Eastern Conference.

Messi found the net in the second half as Miami looked to turn the match in their favour, but Nashville responded in stoppage time to secure a point away from home.

The result leaves Nashville firmly in control of the Eastern Conference race, with Inter Miami unable to cut into the gap despite Messi’s contribution.
