Relief for Messi as Inter Miami finally snap seven-game MLS losing streak

Ahead of Lionel Messi’s arrival in the USA, Inter Miami finally ended their seven-match losing streak against Austin.

The newly appointed head coach Gerardo ‘Tata’ Martino was also in attendance on Saturday as the club finally managed to register a point in the league.

Josef Martinez broke the deadlock before Nick Lima equalized for Austin as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw, ending the Herons’ dire MLS run.

The club’s last win in the league came against New England on May 13.

Inter Miami will be next seen in action against Columbus in an MLS clash on July 4.
