Inter Miami Shines Bright with 4-0 Triumph Over Atlanta United in MLS Season Finale at Chase Stadium

Inter Miami CF delivered a stunning 4-0 victory against Atlanta United FC in their final 2025 regular-season home match at Chase Stadium on October 11, 2025. Lionel Messi led the charge with two goals and one assist, while Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez also found the back of the net, securing a dominant win for the home side.

Messi’s first goal came with a beautifully curled shot into the top left corner, marking his 25th goal of the season and making him the first MLS player to record nine multi-goal games in a single regular season, a historic achievement. He later assisted Jordi Alba, who scored with a deft looping shot over Atlanta’s goalkeeper Jayden Hibbert. This match also served as a farewell to Alba, who announced his retirement at the end of the season and was honored by the club in a special tribute.

Suárez added the third goal with a skilful right-footed volley from just outside the penalty area, bringing his professional career tally to 600 goals. Messi capped off the scoring late in the match, underscoring his pivotal role in Inter Miami’s offense.

On the defensive side, goalkeeper Rocco Ríos Novo was instrumental in securing a clean sheet, making three critical saves to keep Atlanta United at bay. Despite Atlanta United fielding a heavily rotated squad due to multiple absences from international call-ups and injuries, they initially showed resilience but eventually succumbed to Inter Miami’s relentless attack.

The victory lifted Inter Miami’s season record to 18 wins, 7 losses, and 8 draws, with 62 points accumulated, solidifying their strong position heading into the playoffs. The match also marked the end of an era as it was Inter Miami’s last regular-season game at Chase Stadium for 2025.

Atlanta United’s coach Ronny Deila faced criticism for his squad’s performance, citing the 12 missing players as a significant factor in the team's difficulties. Although goalkeeper Hibbert made impressive saves early on, the team could not withstand the pressure after an error from midfielder Tristan Muyumba allowed the opening goal.

The game’s result and individual performances have generated considerable buzz among MLS fans, especially highlighting the impact of Inter Miami’s star-studded lineup, which includes former Barcelona legends Messi, Alba, and Suárez.
