Lionel Messi’s record performance (5 assists and 1 goal) overshadows Dante Vanzier’s goal

Lionel Messi is far from showing off, not even in his second season in MLS. On the contrary, it seems as if the Argentine has raised his game in the United States.

However, the opening string at Inter Miami-New York was set by a Belgian. Dante Vanzier was in the right position to shoot in the rebound.

But after the break, Messi woke up. First, he sent in newly traded Matías Rojas, who had signed for Miami just a few days earlier, to make it 1-1, and immediately afterwards to make it 2-1.

With the second assist from Messi to Rojas, New York’s resistance seemed to be gradually breaking. Even the indestructible tandem of Messi and Suarez made it insulting for the visitors, always in the same order: Messi with the assist, Suarez with the finishing touch.

Messi continues to set records even at the age of 36 years. No one has ever scored 6 goals in one inning in the American League. 5 assists in the first half is also a record.

In the standings, Inter Miami ranks first in the East. New York drops to fourth place.
