Lionel Messi won his 46th career trophy after a 3-2 victory against Columbus Crew to win the MLS Supporters’ Shield on Wednesday. One moment going viral is a Messi dribble vs Columbus in the dying minutes.
Inter Miami were desperately defending their one-goal advantage and had a major scare in the 84th minute when Drake Callender saved a penalty kick.
To the horror of the Herons, the fourth official revealed there would be 10 MINUTES of stoppage time. In the 10th minute of added time Messi appeared to be taking the ball to the corner flag, but then embarrassed two defenders.

That’s just too smooth from the Argentine who scored two of Inter Miami's three goals. Marcelo Herrera and Malte Amundsen were the victims of Messi’s latest move.
To have the confidence to take on two defenders in the final seconds is elite.
The hype around Messi is at a high as his side clinched the No. 1 seed for the upcoming MLS Cup playoffs. Miami’s first game will be aired at Times Square, New York, on a 25,000 square-foot screen.
Messi has two regular season games left along with two World Cup qualifiers with Argentina before the playoffs begin.
