Football legend Lionel Messi once again proved why he is part of the "greatest of all time (GOAT)" debate as he scored twice with Inter Miami mercilessly defeating the New England Revolution with 4-1 victory.
During Saturday's triumphant battle amid a sea of pink Inter Miami jerseys at the sold-out Gillette Stadium, the Agentine soccer pro managed to reach 1,200 career assists, Marca reported.
Tomas Chancalay gave the Revs the lead 40 seconds into the game.
Messi's doubles in the 32nd and 67th minutes, Benjamin Cremaschi's goal in the 83rd minute, and Luis Suárez's goal in the 88th minute secured Inter Miami's position at the top of the Eastern Conference with 21 points.
New England's initial performance was impressive, but the lead lasted for half an hour with Messi's first goal in the 32nd minute to level the score in Boston.
Inter Miami stand as the best team in the entire Major League Soccer while New England remain at the bottom of the league with four points.
For the 11th date of the tournament, Inter Miami will take on the New York Red Bulls and New England will visit the Chicago Fire in "The Windy City".
