While watching Messi at full speed is incredible, the slow motion footage captures his exact movements leading up to the goal.
The 2-0 victory for Inter Miami takes them off the bottom of the MLS Eastern Conference table - and now means they are no longer statistically the worst team in MLS in 2023.
Messi, meanwhile, is now in third place on the list of all-time Inter Miami goalscorers with 11 goals, having pulled ahead of team-mate Josef Martinez.
His next target is former Wolves striker Leonardo Campana, who has 18 goals to his name. Gonzalo Higuain leads the way on 29.
Inter Miami's next fixture is on Thursday, when they host Nashville in Messi's first home MLS game. The Inter Miami faithful will be expecting him to be in from the start.
