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 the entire "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 the Inter Miami players then play with great excitement, scoring 2 more goals in a row, both scored by striker Telasco Segovia in the 27th and 45+3 minutes to lead the score 3-1. In which, the goal to raise 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 a brace in the 60th and 75th minutes, assisted by Busquets and Suarez, helping Inter Miami beat New York Red Bulls with a score of 5-1. This was also Messi's 6th brace 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 set by Robbie Keane, Sebastian Giovinco, Carlos Vela or Cucho Hernández with 35 goals and 25 assists.

The comeback win also helped Inter Miami climb into the top group of the MLS Eastern Conference standings with 41 points, not far from their opponents (only 5 to 6 points), and still having played 3 fewer games. Messi is also now back in the top scorer position with 18 goals, 17 more than Sam Surridge (Nashville SC).
