Lionel Messi just keeps doing Lionel Messi things. On Sunday night he proved the age-old adage that a good defense is the best offense.

Lionel Messi scored early and Fafà Picault scored the winner after subbing in late to rally Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over Atlanta United at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday night. Picault’s first goal this season came in his second appearance with an assist from defender Jordi Alba — his second — in the 89th minute.

Lionel Messi converts his first goal of the new season as Inter Miami defeat Atlanta United in MLS Cup rematch.
