Messi made a magical assist in the 24th minute to help his close teammate Jordi Alba score the equalizer for Inter Miami, 1-1. This move reminded people of the 38-year-old Argentine's incredible pass when he sent the ball through a "forest of legs" of the opponent's defense, helping his teammate and defender Molina score in the quarter-final match against the Netherlands at the 2022 World Cup.

This equalizer was a turning point and had a great contribution from Messi, helping Inter Miami players then play with great excitement, continuously scoring 2 more goals, both scored by striker Telasco Segovia in the 27th and 45+3 minutes to lead the score 3-1. In which, the goal to increase the score to 2-1 from Jordi Alba's pass to this Venezuelan striker to score, was also because Messi initiated the attack and assisted before.

Before that, Inter Miami had an unimpressive start to the match when New York Red Bulls opened the scoring in the 14th minute thanks to Alexander Hack. However, after a scoreless match when Inter Miami lost 0-3 to FC Cincinnati on July 17, Messi was able to regain his peak form and help his team overcome difficulties to avoid a second consecutive loss.

Not only that, in the second half, Messi continued his previous scoring streak (11 goals in 6 matches), when he scored two goals in the 60th and 75th minutes, respectively assisted by Busquets and Suarez, helping Inter Miami to beat New York Red Bulls with a score of 5-1. This was also Messi's 6th double in the last 7 matches.

These latest goals and assists also help Messi continue to set historical records in MLS, when he is the player who reached 37 goals and 25 assists in just two years of playing, surpassing the records of Robbie Keane, Sebastian Giovinco, Carlos Vela or Cucho Hernández set before with 35 goals and 25 assists.

The comeback win also helped Inter Miami climb up the MLS Eastern Conference standings with a 41-point lead over their rivals (just 5-6 points), and still having played 3 games less. Messi is now back at the top of the scoring charts with 18 goals, 17 more than Sam Surridge (Nashville SC).
