Lionel Messi continues to dominate the Golden Boot race with 24 goals after bagging a brace Wednesday. He’s now two clear of LAFC’s Denis Bouanga. Luis Suarez and Baltasar Rodriguez also got on the scoresheet, giving Miami four wins in their last six outings. Coach Javier Mascherano reminded his squad, “We’re happy because now we’re officially qualified for the playoffs… but now we have to keep moving forward.”
For Toronto, Richie Laryea’s goal against Columbus secured their sixth consecutive draw. Coach Robin Fraser pointed to inefficiency up front as the major hurdle, saying, “Finishing our chances… the chances are getting better. It’s a growth process.”

Matchup Breakdown
Inter Miami Outlook
Miami is hitting stride at the right time. Messi’s 24 goals and 11 assists set the tone, while Suarez remains lethal as a secondary finisher. Miami has scored multiple goals in four straight games and now faces a Toronto side that hasn’t kept a clean sheet in seven matches. Mascherano’s squad knows Supporters’ Shield ambitions are still alive, so expect urgency and rotation management with a deep playoff run in mind.
Toronto FC Outlook
Toronto has turned themselves into a frustrating opponent, unbeaten in six yet unable to claim full points. The Reds have scored in all but one of those matches, but finishing quality remains their Achilles’ heel. Laryea and Federico Bernardeschi remain key attacking outlets, but the defense has conceded 48 goals this year. Playing at home, Toronto will look to slow down Miami’s front three and continue their string of draws.
Key Battle
Messi vs. Toronto’s backline. Toronto has struggled to contain elite attackers, and Messi enters red-hot. Whether Toronto can limit service into him and Suarez will determine if this game stays competitive.
