Neither team scored until Dániel Gazdag took passes from defenders Ilay Feingold and Peyton Miller in the 53rd minute and sent a right-footed shot past Dayne St. Clair to give New England the lead with his second goal in 11 appearances this season.

It was the fifth assist of the season for Feingold and the ninth for the 18-year-old Miller — both career highs.

Messi and Telasco Segovia set up Germán Berterame for a goal to tie it 1-all in the 69th minute.

It was the first goal contribution for Messi in three matches. Berterame has 10 goals and 10 assists in his first MLS season.

Messi came through with the winner in the 83rd minute, scoring his league-leading 26th goal with another assist from Segovia — his career-high 12th in his second full season.

Messi is tied for the second most assists this season with 16 and leads by nine in goal contributions with 42.

St. Clair finished with three saves for Inter Miami — now 10-4-3 away from home.

Matt Turner turned back three shots for New England, which saw a four-match win streak end in falling to 11-4-2 at home.

St. Clair had two saves and Turner one in a scoreless first half.

The two clubs played to a 1-1 draw in Miami to close out April.

Miami: Hosts Charlotte FC to close out the regular season on Saturday.

New England: At Orlando City on Saturday to end the regular season.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Authorities in both Ukraine and Russia say that their emergency alert mobile applications were targeted by cyberattacks late Sunday, with residents in Ukraine receiving messages that there was a high nuclear radiation danger in the capital Kyiv.

In a post late Sunday on Telegram, Ukraine’s air raid alert channel wrote that “unauthorized parties” had interfered with the messaging app’s operation, and that it had been temporarily suspended. It warned users not to click on links contained in “suspicious notifications.”

Authorities in Ukraine said the app, which Ukrainians rely on to seek safety amid daily Russian missile and drone strikes, was restored overnight. The alerts — making false claims of high radiation levels, a chemical threat and public disturbances in Kyiv — were written in English with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors as well as in a mix of Russian and Ukrainian.

One of the false posts mentioned the hacking group Hitcore. Mash, a Russian Telegram channel with links to the security services, said it had spoken to representatives of Hitcore and that they had claimed responsibility for the attack. That claim could not be independently verified.

Ukraine's state-run Center for Countering Disinformation reported the breach and urged users to monitor emergency channels on social media and rely on physical alerts while the cyberattack was being addressed.

Russian officials said Monday that hackers had sent fake emergency alerts after gaining access to the mobile app for Russia’s Emergency Ministry.

The ministry did not name who carried out the attack. In a statement, it reassured Russians that the wider public alert system was working normally, and that the mobile app acted as a supplementary service alongside alerts shared through SMS alerts, media broadcasts and municipal sirens and loudspeakers.
