With five assists and one goal, Leo Messi signed a new recital this Saturday in the 6-2 beating of the Inter Miami to the New York Red Bulls. Those five assists by Messi in a single game are a new record in the MLS.
The genius from Rosario was very well accompanied by the Uruguayan Luis Suarez, who performed at a sensational level with a hat-trick (his first hat-trick with the Florida team); and the Paraguayan Matías Rojas, who completed the exhibition with a double for an Inter Miami that came back and scored all of his goals in the second half.
Leader in the East
With four wins in a row, Inter Miami is the leader of the East with 24 points after 12 games. Messi has 10 goals and 12 assists this season. Suárez, for his part, has already accumulated 12 goals in his first year in Miami.
“Messi always makes the difference. Today the partnership between him and Luis in the second half worked very well, like in old times. They really were very influential in the game,” said coach Tata Martino at the press conference.
“I always say the same thing: it is redundant to talk about him (Messi) because it seems like he always does something new. If something was missing it was this: having an impact on the six goals that a team scores. This, ugh, is going to be difficult to see again “added the coach.
