Messi netted a brace, his sixth in the previous seven MLS games, against NY Red Bulls on Monday as the Herons coasted to a 5-1 win over the hosts at the Red Bull Arena.
Messi levelled Ronaldo’s record with his first strike of the day in the 60th minute of the game, before shattering the Portuguese player’s tally with his second of the day in the 75th minute as he helped his side over the line.
Messi pulled off a trademark run to get past the opposition defensive setup, in addition to rounding the keeper, before slotting the ball into the empty net as he gave the Hernons a 4-1 lead. He put the last nail in NY’s coffin as he brought down a cross into the area with his chest before guiding it past a hapless custodian to make it 5-1.
