Sunday, May 5, 2024 -Inter Miami superstar, Lionel Messi, has again made history in Major League Soccer, MLS, by setting a record for the most goal contributions and assists in a single match during his side’s dominant 6-2 win against the New York Red Bulls at Chase Stadium on Saturday night.
The former Barcelona forward produced a
phenomenal display, with six goal contributions and five assists, cementing his
place as a superstar in the league.
The Argentine has now scored and assisted in
six consecutive league matches; a feat that has never been achieved before in
MLS.
Speaking about Messi, Inter Miami head
coach, Gerardo Martino could not resist praising his player’s stunning display,
branding it as a historic moment in MLS history.
“All [goals] were fundamental to the game,
but Leo did something historic tonight with five assists and one goal,” Inter
Miami head coach Gerardo Martino said at his post-match interview.
“But I can’t forget Suarez’s three goals and
Rojas’ two goals. The first, well both, but the first Rojas goal was amazing.
“But because of the technical aspect of Leo on the assist I will choose Luis Suárez’s scissor goal as my favorite.”
