Lionel Messi tried but could not snap a 3-3 tie between Inter Miami and host San Jose on Wednesday at soldout PayPal Park.

Dickerson was not the only person who reacted strongly to Messi's petulant behavior. Current San Jose and former United States Men's National Team coach Bruce Arena had to intervene in order to save the Inter Miami star from himself. "That's universal language when you're talking about referees," Arena said with a grin after the game.

San Jose’s Colombian forward Cristian Arango is tied with Vancouver’s Brian White for the league lead with eight goals. Former Inter Miami forward Josef Martinez of Venezuela, who joined the Earthquakes this year, has six goals. Argentine midfielder Cristian Espinoza has four goals and an MLS-best seven assists.
