The game started off poorly for Miami. In the second minute, Messi sent a back pass directly into the path of Montreal forward Prince Owusu, who scored an easy goal on a left-footed shot from the center of the box to give the home team a 1-0 lead.

Inter Miami’s 2-1 victory over the Revolution Wednesday night marked their 628TH appearance together since 2008.

Messi's scoring streak is the latest of a number of MLS records broken by the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner.
