Robert Lewandowski enjoyed a dream home debut for Chicago Fire, scoring twice to inspire a 2-1 comeback victory over Charlotte.

Meanwhile, Lionel Messi returned to action for Inter Miami after his post-World Cup break, but the match ended in draw as an own goal by Casemiro proved to be one of the decisive moments.

Lewandowski shines in front of the Chicago fans

A crowd of 32,183 attended Soldier Field to watch Lewandowski's first home appearance for Chicago Fire.

Spain's Pep Biel gave Charlotte the lead in the 18th minute, but Lewandowski equalized just 93 seconds later with a low right-footed finish.

The Polish striker completed his brace in the second half after finishing off an assist from Finland international Robin Lod, securing the victory for Chicago.

Messi returns for Inter Miami

In the day's other headline match, Lionel Messi started on the bench for Inter Miami before entering in the 53rd minute, with his team already leading 2-1.

Inter Miami opened the scoring through Luis Suárez. Shortly afterward, an own goal by Casemiro leveled the match for the Columbus Crew, before Noah Allen restored Inter Miami's advantage.

However, in the 85th minute, Brais Méndez delivered a cross from around 35 meters that sailed into the net untouched, securing a 2-2 draw in Messi's return to action.
