WHAT HAPPENED?
After Luis Suarez was fouled outside the box, Lionel Messi stepped up, lining up for a free kick. The Argentine maestro positioned himself and curled the ball around the wall and into the back of the net in first half stoppage-time for his second goal of the game against the Columbus Crew.
His two strikes helped Miami to a 3-2 victory, a result that saw them clinch the regular season title.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
It was his second goal of the match, with his first coming off a brilliant overhead through ball from his longtime friend and teammate Jordi Alba. The defender found him outside the box, and after a few tricky touches on the ball, he slid it past USMNT goalkeeper Patrick Schulte.
A third from Luis Suarez was enough to see them earn three points, and the MLS Supporters' Shield.
