Inter Miami clinched an emphatic win over the New England Revolution on Saturday, driven by Lionel Messi’s contributions of two goals and one assist. Despite conceding a goal within the first 40 seconds of the match, Messi raises Miami in a remarkable comeback, delivering an impressive performance away from home.
The Revolution took an early lead courtesy of Thomas Chancalay‘s lobbed effort, catching goalkeeper Drake Callender off guard. Nevertheless, Miami swiftly reversed the momentum with Messi assuming control of the game.
The Argentine maestro found the back of the net in the 32nd and 68th minutes, securing three vital points for Inter Miami. His first goal was the result of a superb through ball by Robert Taylor, while the second was assisted by his longtime companion Sergio Busquets.
With Messi’s second goal, the outcome of the game was effectively settled, yet Miami persisted in their attacking endeavors. Late goals from U.S. international Benjamin Cremaschi and Luis Suarez sealed the victory, culminating in a convincing 4-1 triumph.
The match drew a full house, with over 60,000 spectators present and an average ticket price of $285. Lionel Messi once again demonstrated his exceptional abilities with two goals and an assist, bringing his season total to nine goals and seven assists.
Messi delivered a stellar performance for Miami throughout the game, leading the charge to secure the three points. He achieved a historic milestone on Saturday by becoming the first player in MLS history to record five consecutive games with multiple goal contributions.
The coach of the New England Revolution was already feeling the heat before Saturday’s game, having only managed one win so far this season. Unfortunately for the Revs, Saturday’s match was another disappointment, suggesting that the coach’s tenure with the team may be approaching its conclusion.
Inter Miami will take on the New York Red Bulls at Chase Stadium next Saturday, aiming to reverse their fortunes after suffering a 4-0 defeat against RBNY earlier this year on the road.
