Posted by While leading Inter Miami to a 6-2 victory over the New York Red Bulls at Chase Stadium on Saturday night, superstar Lionel Messi once again established MLS history by establishing a new record for the most goal contributions and assists in a single match.
With an incredible performance that included six goals and five assists, the former Barcelona striker solidified his status as a league superstar.
Unprecedented in Major League Soccer history, the Argentine has now scored or 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, while 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 component of Leo’s assist.
