Football legend Lionel Messi has achieved another major career milestone by scoring his 100th goal for the Inter Miami football club, helping his team secure a 2-0 victory against Cruz Azul in the Campeones Cup. Messi opened the scoring in the 24th minute, marking his 100th goal across 115 total appearances for the club. Later in the match, midfielder Casemiro capitalized on a corner kick delivered by Messi in the 81st minute to score the second goal and seal the win.
Continuing a Winning Legacy
Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has been in stellar form, netting his fourth goal in the last five matches. This latest victory adds yet another prestigious trophy to Inter Miami's cabinet, arriving three years after Messi first joined the club. Prior to this triumph, the team successfully captured the Leagues Cup in 2023, the Supporters' Shield in 2024, and the MLS Cup in 2025, establishing a dominant run in North American football.
A Remarkable Coincidence
The milestone comes with a fascinating symmetry, as Messi scored his very first goal for Inter Miami against Cruz Azul back in July 2023. Fast forward to September 2026, and his 100th goal for the club was also netted against the exact same opponent. This unique bookend performance not only celebrated a century of goals for the iconic forward but also delivered the club's fourth major piece of silverware.
