Lionel Messi scored twice and laid on an assist for Sergio Busquets as he dominated again in Inter Miami's 3-1 win over Nashville on Saturday night.

Messi, who grabbed his second brace in MLS after also scoring two against Orlando on March 2, now has a goal or assist in each of the six league matches he's played this season.

Busquets grabbed his first goal for Inter Miami since reuniting with his former Barcelona teammate Messi last summer.

Miami is now unbeaten in five matches against Nashville since Messi's arrival and they also held onto first place in the Eastern Conference.

But Tata Martino's team did make it hard for themselves and, for the second consecutive week, conceded a goal in the opening minutes.
