00:00Lionel Messi netted his sixth brace in seven matches as he helped enter Miami to a resounding
00:045-1 comeback win over the New York Red Bulls in MLS. Having seen his streak of five doubles in
00:11as many games in last time out, Messi ensured Miami got back to winning ways. Alexander Hack
00:17gave the Red Bulls the lead just 14 minutes in when he held off his defender to volley Emil
00:21Forsberg's corner past the flapping Rocco Rios Novo from close range. But just 10 minutes later,
00:27Jordi Alba restored parity, rifling a pinpoint strike across goal into the top right corner
00:32after meeting Messi's through ball. It then took a further three minutes for them to get in front as
00:37Talasco Segovia poked Alba's cross over Carlos Coronal from inside the box. The Venezuelan got
00:43his second of the match on the stroke of halftime, picking out the bottom right corner from range
00:47after Federico Redondo's tricky footwork drew in the Red Bulls' defenders. Messi netted his first on the
00:53hour, racing in behind on the counterattack and coolly rounding the goalkeeper to slot in from
00:58close range. Another quick counter opened up space for him again 75 minutes in, when he chested down
01:04Luis Suarez's cross before drilling Miami's fifth pass to helpless Coronal. Data Debrief, Messi back on
01:11zone. Messi struggled against FC Cincinnati last weekend, but he returned to the scoresheet in style,
01:17racking up his 17th and 18th goals of the season as Miami earned another comeback win.
01:22The Herons have now earned 13 points from losing positions in MLS this season,
01:27with only FC Dallas, 17, and the Columbus Crew, 16, recovering more. But even with that slow start,
01:34Miami were the better side as they outperformed their 2.99 expected goals, xG, from 13 attempts,
01:40while limiting the Red Bulls to just two shots on target throughout. The hosts only managed 1.17 xG.
