Messi Under MLS Review After 2-2 Draw

Messi is under MLS disciplinary review after an off-ball confrontation in Inter Miami's 2-2 draw with the Philadelphia Union, with footage showing him striking Quinn Sullivan's head and facing potential fines or a one-match ban. Earlier in the match, Sullivan had already been sent off for a separate clash, leaving Miami to chase a result that extended their winless run to four games. Messi had earlier scored and helped Miami take the lead, resuming scoring after his father Jorge Messi's death. The league’s Disciplinary Committee is reviewing the incident, while Messi’s goals had energized Miami as they chase a win to close the gap atop the Eastern Conference. The draw preserves Messi’s status as a pivotal figure for Miami, though controversy surrounding his conduct on the field overshadowed the match.
