Lionel Messi is one of the most famous soccer players in the world.

In the game, Messi scored two goals and helped set up another goal for his team.

His team beat a team from Mexico called Atlético de San Luis by a score of 4 to 2.

The Mexican team scored first, very early in the game.

But then Inter Miami scored four goals in a row to take a big lead.

The other team scored one more goal later, but it was not enough to catch up.

With his two goals, Messi became the player with the most goals in Leagues Cup history.

The game was paused for a while because of lightning in the area.
