He became the first player in the competition history who scored several goals in four consecutive MLS matches, all victories. Messi increased his total goals for the season to 14 and scored his 19th and 20th goals in all competitions this season.

The second, which turned out to be the decisive goal, came in the 38th minute on a nice assist from Sergio Busquets. While Busquets brought the ball just beyond midfield, he shot a ball above two defenders of New England and on Messi. Messi ran the ball down and shot an accurate shot just within the distant pole and beyond the vast range of Revolution -goalkeeper Aljaz Ivacic.

New England cut Miami’s lead in half in the 79th minute when Carles Gil controlled a ball at the top of the box and tore a shot past Miami keeper Oscar Ustari.

The defense of Ustari and Miami, however, were below the last 11 minutes plus five minutes of stopping time to secure the valuable three points.

New England surpassed Miami 6-3 on goal on goal and 16-13 in general, but Miami made his best chances.

Messi, who only follows Sam Surridge from Nashville (16 goals) on the MLS scoring leaderboard after Wednesday evening matches, hit his first goal in the 27th minute. After a failed attempt in the revolution in its own box of the revolution, Messi shot inside and intercepted a lateral header and shot a shot past Ivacic before he could recover Miami with 1-0.

New England stays in 11th place in the east and then travels to Austin on Saturday evening, while Miami returns on Saturday evening to combat Nashville SC.
