Messi On Target But Inter Miami Held By Toronto In MLS - In Pics

Lionel Messi found the back of the net but Inter Miami could only get one point from their encounter against Toronto in the Major League Soccer. Miami were held for a frustrating draw and despite dominating the whole game could not really get the finish they desired. Messi struck in the second minute of injury time before the break but Federicho Bernardeschi levelled the score for Toronto just before the half-time whistle.
