Inter Miami 6-2 New York Red Bulls: Messi makes more MLS history as Suarez scores hat-trick

Lionel Messi had a hand in all six goals while Luis Suarez scored a hat-trick as Inter Miami overcame the New York Red Bulls 6-2 at Chase Stadium.

The Eastern Conference leaders were on a three-match winning streak in MLS, but fell behind to Dante Vanzeir s opener in the 30th minute.

However, the hosts turned the match on its head after the break, with Messi assisting a brace for half-time substitute Matias Rojas either side of getting on the scoresheet himself.

Suarez then took centre stage with a hat-trick inside 13 minutes all assisted by his former Barcelona team-mate while Emil Forsberg s stoppage-time penalty was a mere consolation for the visitors, who are now without a win in four.

Lionel Messi s six goal contributions for tonight set a record for the most in a single game in MLS history.
