Lionel Messi became the first player in Major League Soccer history with four consecutive multi-goal games, scoring twice to lead Inter Miami past the New England Revolution 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Miami 10-3-5 has won four straight and is unbeaten in its last five.
Defender Tanner Beason misplayed a header and Messi capitalized , scoring on a half-volley to open the scoring in the 27th minute.
Messi made it 2-0 in the 38th. Sergio Busquets played a ball ahead from just beyond midfield to a charging Messi, who scored on a first-touch shot from the edge of the penalty area that slipped inside the right post.
Messi has at least one goal in five straight games. He has 14 goals - second in MLS to Nashville's Sam Surridge 16 - and seven assists in 15 regular-season matches.
