Messi, who reached 1,200 career assists, dramatically changed the game’s momentum with two goals. Despite Tomas Chanclalay giving New England the lead just 40 seconds into the match, Messi equalized in the 32nd minute, signalling the start of Miami’s dominance.
His second goal in the 67th minute further cemented Miami’s control. Additional goals from Benjamin Cremaschi in the 83rd minute and Luis Suárez in the 88th minute sealed the win.
Suárez, entering the game in the 64th minute, quickly made his mark. His late goal, assisted by Messi, capped off a robust team performance.
