New York Red Bulls: Lionel Messi set a new Major League Soccer (MLS) record of five assists in a single match as leaders Inter Miami romped to a 6-2 home win over New York Red Bulls. Luis Suarez's hat-trick was relegated to a support act as Messi, who also scored a goal, continued his outstanding run of form for the Florida outfit on Saturday.

New York went ahead on the half-hour at Chase stadium through Dante Vanzeir, who thumped home a first-time effort after Wikelman Carmon's shot cannoned off the far post.

Matias Rojas put Inter Miami on level terms by receiving Messi's pass before curling a 20-yard effort into the top-right corner, reports Xinhua.
