Lionel Messi became the first player to score multiple goals in four consecutive MLS matches, leading Inter Miami to a 2-1 victory over the New England Revolution. The Argentine star, who scored twice in the first half, now has 14 goals in 15 league appearances this season.
This historic feat cements Messi’s status among players who score multiple goals consistently. His scoring streak began in May, with braces in Miami’s 4-2 win over Montreal. And a 5-1 rout of Columbus, showcasing the form that continues to dominate MLS.
After a short run at the Club World Cup, where he scored once in four matches, Messi returned to MLS action. He quickly regained form, leading Inter Miami to a 4-1 victory over Montreal. Now, with his latest double, he has officially become the first player to score multiple goals in four back-to-back MLS fixtures.

Miami head coach Javier Mascherano praised Messi, saying, “I always say Leo is a special player. For me, the best player who has played this sport in history. He continues doing things we couldn’t imagine years ago.”
Messi’s goals came in the 27th and 38th minutes. First, a left-footed strike inside the box, then a sublime finish after a Busquets through ball. Carles Gil scored for the Revolution in the 79th minute to narrow the gap. However, Inter Miami held their ground and moved up to fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
Lionel Messi breaks MLS records yet again, adding to his achievements. He holds the record for most assists (five) and goal contributions (six) in a single game. He set both against the New York Red Bulls last May.
Lionel Messi makes new records each week, and as the first player to score multiple goals in four straight MLS games. He continues to inspire awe across the soccer world.
