Posted by In Saturday night’s 6-2 rout of the New York Red Bulls at Chase Stadium, Inter Miami superstar Lionel Messi set a new record for most goal contributions and assists in a single match, adding to his long list of MLS firsts.
With an incredible performance that included six goals and five assists, the former Barcelona forward solidified his status as a league superstar.
An MLS record has been broken by the Argentine, who has now scored and assisted in six straight league matches.
Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino couldn’t help but praise his player’s spectacular performance, which he hailed as a watershed event in Major League Soccer history, when discussing Messi.
“All [goals] were crucial to the game, but Leo achieved something remarkable tonight with five assists and one goal,” Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino remarked at his post-match interview.
I will never forget the three goals scored by Suarez and the two by Rojas. Both goals scored by Rojas were incredible, but the first one was especially so.
Luis Suárez’s scissor goal is my favorite, though, because to the technical aspect of Leo’s assist.
