Lionel Messi claimed a leading role at Inter Miami on Saturday with two goals and an assist. Coach Gerardo Martino’s team won the away match in the MLS against New England Revolution 1-4.
Inter Miami did get off to a dramatic start at Gillette Stadium. After a blunder by goalkeeper Drake Callender, Tomás Chancalay made it 1-0 for New England Revolution within a minute.
It was Messi who scored two goals to give Inter Miami the lead halfway through the second half. In the 32nd minute he scored in the short corner and after 67 minutes he scored on a pass from Sergio Busquets.
The 36-year-old Messi then also had a share in the 1-3 and 1-4. On Inter Miami’s third goal, New England Revolution keeper Henrich Ravas turned away Messi’s shot, after which Benjamin Cremaschi netted the rebound.
Messi provided an assist for Luis Suárez’s 1-4. It was the seventh goal in ten league games for the Uruguayan veteran. Messi now has nine goals and seven assists.
