"NYCFC came into the fixture as one of the form teams in the MLS after impressive home victories over Columbus and Charlotte, but they were no match for Messi and Co. on a sodden night in Queens. A packed house full to the brim with the pink of Inter Miami looked on as Messi scored twice and assisted once in a performance that rolled back the years."
"Messi then exploded into life in a 12-minute spell late in the second half, producing two sublime efforts either side of a Luis Suarez penalty to put the result beyond any doubt as the NYCFC challenge suffered a total collapse. The result sees Inter Miami leapfrog NYCFC in the Eastern Conference, with Pascal Jansen's side falling to fifth with three games of the regular season remaining."
