In the match within the framework of the MLS tournament taking place in the early morning of July 10 (Vietnam time), Inter Miami won 2-1 right on the field of New England Revolution, in which Lionel Messi continued to be the center of attention thanks to his impressive performance.
The Argentine superstar scored both goals for Inter Miami, thereby becoming the first player in MLS history to score a double in 4 consecutive matches. In the 27th minute, Messi broke the deadlock after taking advantage of the opponent's defense's mistake. He rushed down to receive a pass from Tanner Benson and then fired a decisive left-footed volley.
Just 13 minutes later, Messi completed his double with a cool diagonal finish, this time he received an assist from Sergio Busquets - his former teammate at Barcelona.
After falling 0-2, New England rose in the second half and scored a goal to reduce the score to 1-2 in the 79th minute thanks to a beautiful long-range shot by Carles Gil. However, the home team could not find an equalizer in the remainder of the match against Inter Miami's tight defense.
Messi almost completed his hat-trick in the final minutes but missed the opportunity in the penalty area. However, he is still a decisive factor in helping Inter Miami continue to maintain a high-performance streak, while affirming his role as a leader at the age of 38.
