Lionel Messi scored twice as Inter Miami fought back from two goals down to beat Orlando City 4-2 in the Florida derby. But after midfielder Mateo Silvetti's stunning 25-yard drive just after half-time gave Miami hope in Orlando, the Argentina legend grasped control of the game. "He has the ability to create chances like no-one else, and that's what allowed us to turn the game around." The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has now scored 898 goals for club and country, including 79 in 90 appearances for Miami. The win was Miami's first in nine trips to Orlando, and they now face a game away at DC United on Saturday.
