Lionel Messi won his second consecutive MLS Golden Boot award on Saturday, according to a report in The Guardian, making him the first player to win consecutive MLS Golden Boots. The Guardian's headline placed the award on MLS Decision Day, the final day of the regular season.
The paper said Inter Miami, Messi's club, surrendered a 3-0 lead in a 3-3 draw with Charlotte on that final day. The Guardian's summary described Miami as having "squandered a three-goal lead" in the match, which ended level after Miami had been ahead by three.
The Guardian's summary said Messi did not score in the match but set up Miami's first goal. The excerpt breaks off at that point, so the summary does not give further detail on the rest of his contribution, the sequence of play, or how Miami's first goal came about.
The Guardian also reported that Nashville set a new league record with 77 points. The summary does not explain how that total was reached, which matches produced it, or how it compares with earlier league marks, and it gives no further figures for the record.
