Inter Miami romped to a massive win over New York Red Bulls at the Red Bull Arena on Sunday as Lionel Messi and Telasco Segovia netted a brace each.
Messi and Segovia claimed two goals apiece, while Jordi Alba's strike completed the resounding 5-1 result.
Alexander Hack opened the scoring in the 14th minute of the game as the hosts took the early lead before Alba's strike in the 24th minute restored parity between the sides.
Segovia added to Miami's tally to take the lead for the first time in the game just three minutes after the opener. The Venezuelan doubled Miami's lead in first half added time to help the visitors take a two-goal cushion into the break.
Miami piled on NY's misery in the second period of the game as the eight time Ballon d'Or winner took the game by the scruff of its neck as he netted on the hour mark. The Argentine World Cup-winner doubled his tally fifteen minutes from time as the Herons completed a rout against the hosts.
With the win, Miami bounce back from the 0-3 hammering they suffered at the hands of Cincinnati earlier in the week as Messi's run of braces in five successive games came to an end.
Messi became the first player in league history to score more than one goal in five consecutive regular-season matches, thanks to his brace against Nashville. The Argentine World Cup winner opened the scoring with a freekick in the first half, giving the Miami-based team a slim one-goal lead at halftime. However, Nashville equalized early in the second half through Mukhtar, leveling the score against David Beckham's side.
Messi ensured that the Herons secured all three points by intercepting a pass from the opposition goalkeeper, rounding him, and slotting the ball into the net past a sliding defender.
Messi's streak of scoring two goals in a match began with Miami's 4-2 victory over Montreal and continued with his double against Columbus in a 5-1 win. The Argentine World Cup winner maintained his form upon returning to MLS action after the team's participation in the revamped edition of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. He scored twice again in Miami's 4-1 triumph over Montreal before his performance against New England Revolution, where he netted twice in a 2-1 win.
