Lionel Messi Scores Brace as Inter Miami Defeats New England in MLS

Lionel Messi led Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution in MLS 2025, held at Gillette Stadium.

The Herons — Inter Miami’s nickname — controlled much of the game with 57% ball possession, dictating the tempo from the opening whistle.

Both sides registered 14 total shots, though New England proved more clinical with 6 shots on target, while Inter Miami managed only 3. Despite the lower accuracy, Messi’s efficiency made the difference.

The Argentine superstar opened the scoring in the 27th minute, capping off a dominant attacking sequence by Inter Miami. His brace not only secured the win but also continued his record-setting form, having now scored multiple goals in four consecutive MLS matches — a league-first milestone.

With this result, Inter Miami strengthens its position in the Eastern Conference and continues its impressive run under Messi’s leadership.
