Lionel Messi marked his 930th career goal with a stunning free‑kick, bringing his tally for Inter Miami to 101 in a 2‑2 draw against San Diego FC on Sunday night.
The match began with San Diego taking an early lead when Anders Dreyer chipped the ball over Inter Miami goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair after a through ball from Jeppe Tverskov in the 12th minute.
Twelve minutes later, Messi restored parity after being fouled just outside the penalty area. The Argentine curled a left‑footed free‑kick over the wall, the ball hitting the post before finding the back of the net. The strike was Messi’s 20th goal of the 2026 MLS season, his 75th career free‑kick goal, and the 101st for Inter Miami, just four days after he scored his 100th for the club in their Campeones Cup win over Cruz Azul.
Inter Miami answered in the 74th minute when Luis Suárez put the hosts ahead, but San Diego refused to settle. Dreyer scored his second goal of the night in the 82nd minute to level the score and earn San Diego a point, extending Inter Miami’s run of consecutive MLS draws to four.
- Inter Miami now have 46 points from 26 matches, with 12 wins, 4 defeats and 10 draws.
- Messi, 39, continues to add to his extraordinary scoring record and remains a key influence for the club.
