Watch Lionel Messi score 2 goals as Inter Miami beats Nashville

Leading Inter Miami to a 3-1 victory over Nashville SC, Lionel Messi maintained his dominant play in the Major League Soccer.

With two goals and an assist, the Argentine sensation extended his league-leading goal tally to seven and his run of six games with either a goal or an assist.

Messi masterminded the comeback, even though Miami defender Franco Neri's own goal gave Nashville the lead in just the second minute.

His deflected shot found its way to Luis Suarez in the eleventh minute, setting up Messi for a tap-in equalizer.

Just before halftime, Messi's former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets, who joined Miami last year, scored the team's second goal, his first at the club.

Then, in the 81st minute, Messi ended the match from the penalty spot.

Miami has now won five straight games against Nashville since Messi's arrival.

They maintain their lead in the Eastern Conference with this victory as well.

Next Saturday, Inter Miami will travel to play New England in an attempt to keep up their winning streak.
