Messi sets MLS record, Inter Miami wins impressively away

(NLDO) – Lionel Messi continued his brilliant form when he scored a double to help Inter Miami defeat host New England 2-1 in the MLS round last weekend.

The match at Gillette Stadium witnessed another classy performance from Messi, who became the first player in MLS history to score a brace in four consecutive matches in the 4-2 win over Montréal, 5-1 win over Columbus, 4-1 win over Montreal and New England this morning (July 10).

The day Messi became the center of attention and shined, Inter Miami won 2-1 against New England. Specifically, in the 27th minute, the opening goal was brought by taking advantage of the home team's defense error. Messi broke through to receive a pass from Tanner Benson and volleyed with his left foot, opening the score for Inter Miami.

In the 40th minute, he completed his double with a cool cross-angle finish after an assist from Sergio Busquets.

Leading by 2 goals, Inter Miami took the initiative to slow down the match. New England tried to fight back at the end of the second half and scored a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 thanks to a beautiful long-range shot by Carles Gil in the 79th minute.

However, the away team's defense played with concentration for the rest of the match to preserve the victory.

Besides, Messi also almost completed a hat-trick in the final minutes but failed to take advantage of a delicious opportunity in the penalty area.

However, the Argentine star is still the most prominent factor on the field, continuing to be a solid support for Inter Miami in their journey to conquer MLS this season.
