Lionel Messi was on target as Inter Miami emphatically bounced back from their recent struggles, defeating the New York Red Bulls 4-1 at Chase Stadium on Saturday.
The comfortable Major League Soccer victory provided a much-needed morale boost for the South Florida side, who had endured a challenging period marked by three consecutive defeats across all competitions.
This poor run notably included their recent exit from the CONCACAF Champions Cup, where they suffered a 5-1 aggregate loss to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the semi-finals.
Against the New York Red Bulls, however, Tata Martino’s men rediscovered their form, delivering a dominant performance culminating in the 4-1 scoreline. Messi’s goal was part of an effective offensive display that secured the vital three points.
The result marks a significant turning point for Inter Miami as they aim to build momentum in the MLS season and put their recent continental disappointment behind them, securing a vital league win with a strong performance at home.
