Messi Scores Two Goals Again as He Breaks MLS Record in Inter Miami Win
Lionel Messi continues to break new ground in Major League Soccer, netting two goals in Inter Miami’s away win over New England at the Gillette Stadium early this morning. The Argentine legend scored both goals in the first half, helping his side to a comfortable victory.
With this performance, Messi has now become the first player in MLS history to score at least two goals in four straight regular-season matches. Since joining Inter Miami as a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, the former Barcelona star has been rewriting records and showing no signs of slowing down, even at 38.
Inter Miami will now shift focus to their next game against Nashville this Sunday, with Messi once again expected to lead from the front.
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
Head of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, shared that the big-name players on the team are not happy about being benched.
He recalled when he took out Samuel Chukwueze during the match against Tanzania.
“Yes, of course, we’ve in this team a lot of big names. They are competitors; they aren’t happy when they go to the bench,” Chelle said at his post-match interview.”
“My job is to make choices, and we’re playing a 4-4-2 diamond, and at this moment I feel we have to protect the wing.”
