Inter Miami CF's Lionel Messi named Player of the Matchday | MLSSoccer.com
Messi is the first player in league history to post at least 5g/5a through his first five games of the season. Additionally, he joined Thierry Henry (11 in 2012), Landon Donovan (10 in 2008) and Raúl Díaz Arce (10 in 1997) as the only players with at least 10 goal contributions in their first five games to begin a season.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup champion and eight-time Ballon d’Or winner is also now tied for most goal contributions (10) in Major League Soccer with Real Salt Lake’s Cristian Arango. Since his arrival in July 2023, Miami have a 5W-0L-2D record in league games where Messi produces a goal or an assist.
The MLS Player of the Matchday is selected each matchday of the regular season through both media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75% of the vote, while an X (formerly known as Twitter) fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of voting. NASR consists of members of print, television, radio, and online media.
A Miami Gardens man is facing DUI and other charges after he allegedly drove as fast as 125 mph while fleeing deputies in the Florida Keys, authorities said.
Jefry Julian Chaucanes Vasquez, 23, is facing charges of DUI, fleeing and eluding, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, reckless driving, and dangerous/excessive speeding, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday.
Authorities said deputies had seen Chaucanes Vasquez speeding at 90 mph in a Mazda sedan on U.S. 1 near Mile Marker 80 at around 11:48 p.m. Tuesday.
A traffic stop was attempted but Chaucanes Vasquez sped away, illegally passing other motorists as he reached speeds of 125 mph, officials said.
Deputies used tire spikes to stop Chaucanes Vasquez near Mile Marker 83, and he was taken into custody and later booked into jail.
Two THC vapes were found in his possession, the sheriff’s office said.
Las Vegas may have cornered the market on quirky wedding chapels, but Miami is finally getting one of its own.
Little Rose Chapel, a newly opened venue in Miami, is billing itself as the city’s first and only boutique wedding chapel, giving couples a stylish alternative to both generic wedding venues or the fluorescent-lit charm of a courthouse ceremony.
The chapel was founded by Brandy Rose and her partner, Rudy, who saw a gap in Miami’s wedding scene. The idea was simple: to create a dedicated space for intimate weddings, elopements, vow renewals and photo shoots, all wrapped in a design-forward package. While the city is packed with luxury hotels, waterfront venues and destination wedding options, couples looking for a small-scale ceremony often find themselves piecing together a plan on their own.
“We wanted to create a space where eloping feels stress-free yet beautiful and fun, whether you’re planning a year ahead or a week ahead,” Rose said. “Miami has incredible wedding venues but there wasn’t a dedicated wedding chapel experience. We built the place we wished existed.”
The opening comes as smaller weddings continue to gain popularity and Little Rose Chapel was designed with that audience in mind. The venue features a dedicated ceremony space for intimate weddings and elopements, licensed officiant services and a private Sweetheart Suite Vanity Lounge where couples can get ready before walking down the aisle. In addition to weddings, the chapel is available for vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and photo shoot rentals.
Whether you’re planning a spontaneous elopement, a micro-wedding with your closest friends or simply need a romantic setting for engagement photos, Miami now has a dedicated spot to make it official—no flight to Las Vegas required.
