With Lionel Messi in the final year of his contract with Inter Miami, ESPN provides game-by-game analysis of the World Cup winner's performances.

Marco Reus scored twice, including the game-tying free kick in the 87th minute as the LA Galaxy earned a 2-2 tie with rival LAFC on Sunday night in Carson, California.

A brace from Galaxy's Marco Reus was matched by Nathan Ordaz and Denis Bouanga's golazo for LAFC.

Inter Miami CF captain Lionel Messi urged the team to stay strong and remain united after losing 3-0 to in-state rival Orlando City SC at Chase Stadium on Sunday night.

Luis Muriel, Marco Pasalic and Dagur Thorhallsson each scored a goal, which helped Orlando City beat in-state rival Inter Miami for the first time in nearly two years as it secured a 3-0 victory on Sunday night in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
