Lionel Messi struck twice, including a stunning late winner, to hand Inter Miami a 3-2 victory over Colorado Rapids in front of 75,824 fans in Denver.
Messi’s penalty and assist for German Berterame put Miami 2-0 up, but Colorado hit back through Rafael Navarro and Darren Yapi.
With 10 minutes left, Messi weaved past three defenders to seal Guillermo Hoyos’ first win as coach.
The reigning MLS champions climb to second in the Eastern Conference, while Colorado ended with 10 men after Yannick Bright’s dismissal.
