Lionel Messi's remarkable form continued as he scored twice to lead Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution. The win, secured on the road, extends Inter Miami's unbeaten run to five games in the MLS regular season. With this victory, Inter Miami is steadily climbing the Eastern Conference table.
The match saw Messi etching his name further into MLS history, becoming the first player to score multiple goals in four consecutive games. This unprecedented run of form began in late May with a brace against Montreal in a 4-2 win, followed by another two goals in a 5-1 victory over Columbus.
Inter Miami, with 35 points (10 wins, 3 losses, 5 draws), demonstrated their attacking prowess, with Messi leading the charge. Despite the Revolution's efforts, they were unable to contain Messi's brilliance.
The game wasn't without its tense moments. After Messi's two goals in the first half, Inter Miami looked set to dominate. However, the New England Revolution fought back, with Carles Gil scoring in the 79th minute, narrowing the score to 2-1. Despite the Revs' pressure, Inter Miami's defense held on to secure the win.
Inter Miami's recent resurgence has seen them win four straight games in MLS. They are now just three points outside the top four in the Eastern Conference, with three games in hand.
