Lionel Messi showcased his brilliance once again on Saturday night at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
Inter Miami hosted the New York Red Bulls for a top-of-the-table clash in the eastern conference of the North American soccer championship.
Despite expectations for a tight match between the two big teams, the Florida franchise, Inter Miami triumphed with a 6-2 victory.
Messi is involved in all six goals for Tata Martino’s team. He scored one goal and provided five assists, setting a Major League Soccer record.
After Dante Viezer first put the Big Apple team ahead, Messi turned the game around with an incredible second-half performance.
He assisted Matias Rojas for the equalizer and then scored the second goal himself with a perfect finish.
Messi also delivered a precise pass for Rojas to score his second goal and provided three assists for Luis Suarez.
Suarez capitalized on Messi’s assists with impressive finishes, reminiscent of their time together at Barcelona.
Messi’s remarkable performance put Inter Miami at the top of the rankings, with 23 goals and 15 assists in 24 games. It’s a lucrative investment for David Beckham, following a disappointing last season.
