Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi showed his explosive power on the professional pitch in the United States of America on Sunday morning (5). He scored six goals and made five key assists to give MIAMI a 6-2 victory over the New York Red Bulls, a "hat-trick" against the Saudi Arabian League rivals, who were shining a light on arch-rival Cairo.
In the early stages of the game, InterMiami went on the offensive, only to have the Red Bulls take a 1-0 lead in the first half. In the second half of the match, InterMiami fought back, with Messi opening the scoring with a great pass to Rochas, and then scoring a goal of his own to help his team go back up to 2-1.
Messi then made another precise pass, with Lochas taking credit for the goal. The 36-year-old Argentine international did not forget his teammate Suarez, who made three consecutive assists. Suarez was in no man's land, completing a "hat trick". Although the Red Bulls were awarded a penalty in extra time, the game was clear, Messi set a new USL record with six goals in the game.
Messi has appeared in 11 matches this season for Mayami, scoring 12 goals and registering 11 assists. In his career, Messi has scored 1,205 goals, including 833 goals and 372 assists for club and country combined.
Miami International has won four consecutive league games and currently sits in first place on the East Coast, showing strong championship looks.
