Lionel Messi set a new Major League Soccer (MLS) record of five assists in a single match as Inter Miami recorded a 6-2 home win over New York Red Bulls. Luis Suarez’s hat-trick was again presented as a supporting act as Messi, who also scored a goal, continued his excellent performance for the Florida team on Saturday. New York went ahead through Dante Wanzire, who beat home the first-time effort after Wickelman Carmon’s shot deflected off the far post. Matias Rojas equalized for Inter Miami after receiving Messi’s pass before firing a 20-yard effort into the top right corner, Xinhua news agency reports.
Rojas and Suárez then linked up, before the latter’s skillful pass released Messi, who fired home from 12 yards to give his side the lead. Inter Miami extended their advantage just after the hour mark through the impressive Rojas, who ran onto Messi’s brilliant through ball and sent a brilliant chip over the head of goalkeeper Carlos Coronel. An almost telepathic understanding between Messi and Suarez was on display when the Uruguay striker sent an acrobatic volley into the far corner after the Inter Miami captain’s high cross. The former Barcelona teammates were indomitable, and they again exchanged a series of brilliant passes before Suarez scored his team’s fifth goal.
Suarez, who joined Inter Miami on a free transfer in January, added to New York’s woes by running onto Messi’s pass and firing past Coronel before scoring his third goal from the most difficult angle. The visitors grabbed a late consolation goal when Emil Forsberg scored from the spot after Marcelo Weigandt’s ill-timed challenge on John Tolkien.
The result leaves Inter Miami three points ahead of second-placed Cincinnati in the Eastern Conference standings, while New York Red Bulls are fourth with 17 points. Messi has now scored 12 goals and provided 11 assists in 11 games for Inter Miami this season, while Suarez has 12 goals and seven assists in 15 games. Martino hails Messi-Suarez double act Inter Miami manager Gerardo Martino praised the attacking partnership of Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in their 6-2 home defeat of New York Red Bulls on Saturday.
“Messi always makes the difference,” Martino said in a post-match news conference at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. “The partnership between him and Luis in the second half today was great, like old times. They were really influential in the game.” Another player to impress for Inter Miami was Paraguayan midfielder Matias Rojas, who scored twice and also showed remarkable understanding with Messi. Martino said, “The truth is that everyone in the game had a phenomenal impact, but Leo probably did something historic with five assists and a goal.”
“I always say the same thing: his [मेसी] It’s redundant to talk about because it seems like he’s always doing something new. If anything was missing, that was it: having an impact on the six goals the team scored. It will be difficult to see something like this going on again.” Despite the emphatic nature of the win, Martino said his team had a lot of room for improvement. He added, “I think in the first half we just couldn’t find the passes between the lines. “We couldn’t progress outside because of the way they were set up,” the Argentina coach said. “We knew we had to take some more risks and move the ball with more authority, which we did in the second half.”
