Inter Miami vs New York Red Bulls score, result, stats as Lionel Messi sets MLS record for assists

Records are falling left and right under the weight of Lionel Messi's star, and his buddy Luis Suarez is right there alongside him. Inter Miami hosted the New York Red Bulls seeking revenge for a 4-0 defeat back in March, and the Herons were wildly successful in that regard, running away as 6-1 winners at Chase Stadium. Messi slaughtered another MLS opponent, setting two league records in the process as he logged a goal and five assists in a 6-2 victory to pad their lead atop the Eastern Conference standings. As the dust settled, Messi had secured the most goal contributions in a single MLS match with six, and the most assists in a single MLS match with five.
