Lionel Messi shines, Inter Miami wins big in 6-goal match

(Dan Tri) - Lionel Messi played brilliantly to help Inter Miami win 5-1 against New York Red Bulls.

In the previous round, Messi ended his record of scoring a double in 5 consecutive matches in the US Major League Soccer (MLS). However, the Argentine superstar quickly returned in the match against New York Red Bulls in round 24 of MLS.

Messi was back in form in this match when he had a hand in 4/5 goals of Inter Miami (2 goals, 2 assists). Thanks to that, the Florida team won 5-1 away.

Entering this match, the home team New York Red Bulls started better. Right in the 14th minute, they scored the opening goal. From a corner kick, Alexander Hack pressed well and finished close to the goal to score against Inter Miami.

However, this loss unintentionally fueled Inter Miami's fighting spirit. In the 24th minute, Messi made a genius pass for Jordi Alba to run down and finish decisively, leveling the score 1-1.

Just 3 minutes later, Messi was the one to start the attack again, with a pass to Jordi Alba who ran down the field. The Spaniard passed the ball back to Telasco Segovia to score, making it 2-1.

In the 45+1 minute, Inter Miami scored their third goal. After a chaotic play in the penalty area, the ball bounced to Telasco Segovia. The Venezuelan player skillfully placed the ball into the net of the New York Red Bulls.

If in the first half, Messi played the role of a creator, then in the second half, the striker born in 1987 showed his ability to score. In the 60th minute, after a pass from Sergio Busquets, Messi ran down, passed the New York Red Bulls goalkeeper to score, raising the score to 4-1.

In the 75th minute, Messi received a cross from the left wing. He calmly held his chest before finishing decisively, raising the score to 5-1.

With a brace in this match, Messi has risen to the top of the list of top scorers with 18 goals, the same as Nashville's Sam Surridge. However, El Pulga has 10 assists.

With this win, Inter Miami remains in 5th place in the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 41 points. They are 6 points behind leader Nashville but have played 3 games less.
