US EditionLionel Messi Makes Historic Assist as Inter Miami Win MLS Eastern Conference Title
Inter Miami secured their first Eastern Conference title with a 5-1 win; Messi set a football record with his 405th career assist, the highest in history.
- On Saturday, Inter Miami beat New York City 5-1 at Chase Stadium to claim their first-ever MLS Eastern Conference and qualify for the MLS Cup Final.
- At the time Lionel Messi joined, Inter Miami was at the bottom of the MLS standings but has since won the Leagues Cup 2023 and last year’s Supporters' Shield.
- Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets set up Miami’s early goals, Silvetti scored from Messi’s pass, and late strikes from Telasco Segovia and Tadeo Allande completed the win, with Justin Haak scoring New York’s lone goal.
- Inter Miami will play the Western Conference winner—either San Diego or Vancouver—in the MLS Cup Final, and Messi would reach 47 career titles only if Miami win that match.
- Messi’s pass marked a career milestone as his assist is believed to be the highest career assist record, highlighting Inter Miami’s rapid rise since the Argentine forward joined.
