Lionel Messi scored his 12th goal of the season in his last Major League Soccer match before the Copa America, and MLS-leading Inter Miami came from behind to tie St. Louis City 3-3 on Saturday night. Miami took a two-point lead atop the Eastern Conference standings, ahead of second-place Cincinnati , which did not play Saturday. Luis Suárez also scored his 12th goal for Inter Miami, and Jordi Alba had the tying goal in the 85th minute.
And after Copa, Inter Miami could lose players again when national teams call for the Paris Olympics, which run from July 26 to August 11. The next month without Messi and potentially other stars will be important if Miami hopes to remain atop the standings. Cincinnati missed a chance to take over first place when it lost to Nashville SC on Wednesday, snapping a seven-game win streak that started April 20. Inter Miami plays at Cincinnati on July 6.
