Lionel Messi moved to the brink of another goalscoring milestone as Inter Miami bagged their second win of the Major League Soccer season with a 2-1 victory over DC United on Saturday. The Argentine superstar's 80th goal for Miami takes his career tally to 899, leaving him just one away from reaching the 900-goal milestone. Saturday's win moved the reigning MLS champions up the Eastern Conference standings into third place with six points from three games. United rallied after half-time, and were given hope when Israeli forward Tai Baribo pulled a goal back in the 75th minute. Miami though were able to hold off United in the closing stages to seal victory.
