The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) delivered another inspiring moment for the Herons on Saturday night at Subaru Park, scoring a stunning, late free kick that spurred a 3-3 come-from-behind draw against the top-placed Philadelphia Union.
With Miami trailing 3-1 in the 87th minute, Messi’s magical left foot beat goalkeeper Andrew Rick’s diving effort with clinical precision into the top left corner.
It also set the stage for Telasco Segovia’s dramatic 95th-minute equaliser, which earned the Herons a valuable away point.
More importantly, it showed they still have signs of life amidst a four-game winless streak as Javier Mascherano’s side looks to build confidence ahead of next month’s FIFA 2025 Club World Cup.
