Inter Miami's win relieves pressure on new coach Kily Gonzalez

Inter Miami's 7‑1 home demolition of CF Montréal this Saturday (29) in the MLS eases the pressure on newly‑appointed head coach Kily Gonzalez, sending a strong message after a recent rough patch. Lionel Messi starred, netting four goals and adding an assist, while the Brazilian midfielder Casemiro opened the scoring.

Messi completed his haul with a brace in the first half and two more in the second, a "poker" that underlined his dominance, and his assist set up the final strike. Luis Suárez and Alexander Shaw each added a goal, sealing the 7‑1 victory and underscoring Inter Miami's attacking depth.
