🎥 Sam Surridge scores ridiculous back-heel to stun Messi & Miami 😱
Aug 16 2026 02:48 · By onefootball.com · 44 Reads
Saturday's top-of-the-table clash in Nashville has been riveting so far. Nashville and Inter Miami came into the night separated by just two points at the top of the Supporters Shield standings.
And as it stands in the second-half, they are on pace to extend that lead to five after putting Leo Messi and his mates to the sword in front of a sold-out crowd.
But the best moment of the night so far certainly came just shy of the hour-mark when Nashville striker Sam Surridge put his side two ahead with a stunning back-heel flick to beat Rocco RÃos Novo.
The Miami players were incensed, believing Messi had been fouled at the other end of the pitch before the goal, but the goal did stand after a check by the referee.
Not a bad way to double the lead, Sam Surridge!
