Lionel Messi scored his first goal since the death of his father, but Inter Miami were held to a 2-2 Major League Soccer draw by the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday.
The Argentine superstar put Miami ahead 2-1 in the 26th minute with a trademark curling left-footed strike into the far corner.
Messi kept his celebration subdued, sharing a brief smile with his teammates before pointing toward the sky in his familiar tribute to his late father.
Messi was instrumental in Miami's first goal five minutes earlier, picking up a run down the left flank from Uruguayan forward Luis Suarez, who headed the ball across for a close-range finish by young American Daniel Pinter.
Philadelphia secured a point with goals from Indiana Vassilev in the 11th minute and Neil Pierre in the 58th.
