In a major Major League Soccer (MLS) match, Cincinnati FC secured a 3-0 victory over Inter Miami, ending Lionel Messi’s historic five-match scoring streak. Cincinnati dominated early, with Gerardo Valenzuela opening the scoring in the 16th minute and Evander adding two goals in the second half, including one from a rebound. Messi, who entered the game tied for the league lead with 16 goals in 17 matches, struggled to find rhythm and was scoreless, marking a rare off night for the star player. Despite playing the full 90 minutes, Messi showed signs of fatigue and was the lowest-distance covered player on the pitch. The loss halted Miami’s five-game winning streak, while Cincinnati remains close to the Eastern Conference leaders. Messi’s goal drought has raised questions about his current form, as he has scored only 22 goals in 28 games this season, far below his previous prolific standards. The match highlights a significant upset in MLS, with Cincinnati’s strong performance and Messi’s goal streak coming to an end.
