Messi treble for Miami secures MLS record haul
The Straits Times
|October 21, 2024
Lionel Messi's hat-trick led Inter Miami to a Major League Soccer (MLS) single-season points record after their 6-2 victory over the New England Revolution on Oct 19 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
-
Despite not entering the match until the 58th minute, Messi set up Benjamin Cremaschi's goal just seconds after coming on. The captain then scored the final three of Miami's six goals, as the Eastern Conference leaders recovered from 2-0 down after 39 minutes.
Miami's tally of 74 points in 34 games broke the old mark of 73 points, set by the 2021 Revolution squad, after the final round of matches. With the points record and the Supporters' Shield clinched, the Herons now look to finish the story by capturing the MLS Cup.
“Our captain has led us, the players have led us in times where it was difficult,” Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham said. “But now, tonight, we celebrate. Tomorrow, we prepare for Friday and the play-offs.”
Luis Suarez had two goals and two assists, with both strikes coming within a three-minute span in the first half.
