Inter Miami 1-1 Toronto FC: Player Ratings as Messi Breaks Record in Draw | OneFootball

Lionel Messi scored right before half-time to become Inter Miami CF's all-time leader in goal contributions, but that's all his Herons could muster in a 1–1 draw with Toronto FC on Sunday.

While Miami came into the game as heavy favorites, head coach Javier Mascherano opted not to rest any of his players and look towards the midweek Concacaf Champions Cup clash with LAFC. Instead, he started Messi, and the former FC Barcelona stars, who weren't able to put together a winning effort against a struggling Toronto side.

Federico Bernardeschi scored for Toronto FC to open the scoring in first half stoppage time, with Messi tying the game with his half-volley less than four minutes later.

With the point, Inter Miami stay second in the Eastern Conference, trailing Columbus Crew SC. However, the Herons have played one less match.

Here are Inter Miami CF's player ratings from the Matchday 7 tie with Toronto as they look towards overturning a 1–0 Leg 1 deficit when they match up in Champions Cup action midweek with LAFC.
