New England 1-4 Inter Miami CF: Messi nets brace, Suarez scores [VIDEO]

Lionel Messi made history in Major League Soccer (MLS) by becoming the first player to record five consecutive matches with multiple goal contributions (goals or assists) as Inter Miami secured a 4-1 victory over the New England Revolution.

Messi’s stellar performance included goals in both halves, guiding his team to another triumph as Tata Martino’s side maintains its position at the top of the Eastern Conference with a record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses.

With his eighth and ninth goals of the season, Messi continues to climb the ranks of Inter Miami’s all-time top scorers, with Gonzalo Higuain’s record of 29 goals in sight for this season. Despite the eventual positive outcome for the visitors, the game began on a challenging note.

Inter Miami faced defensive challenges early on, conceding a goal to Thomas Chancalay in less than a minute, giving the hosts an early lead and a surge of momentum.

However, Inter Miami responded, with Messi showcasing his goal-scoring prowess. His eighth goal of the season came in the 32nd minute, as he clinically finished a chance at the near post in front of a crowd of 65,000 fans.

In the second half, Messi continued his magic. Sergio Busquets delivered a superb through ball, allowing Messi to elegantly finish to the opposite post.

Benjamin Cremaschi extended Inter Miami’s lead with a goal in the 83rd minute, sealing the victory before Luis Suarez added another goal in the 88th minute.

Inter Miami’s next match will be against the New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
