Columbus Crew stun Inter Miami, Messi in 2-1 thriller decided late

Columbus Crew defeated Inter Miami 2-1 in an MLS match on September 27 at ScottsMiracle-Gro Field, with Jamal Thiaré scoring the winning goal in the 98th minute in front of a sellout crowd of 21,188. Lionel Messi started for Inter Miami, scored a goal, and played the full match, but it was not enough to prevent the loss. The victory marked the Crew's second consecutive MLS win, secured in dramatic fashion after a premature fireworks display was triggered when a whistle was mistakenly thought to signal full time.
