Messi scored in both halves to lead the Herons to another win as Tata Martino’s men continue to lead the way in the Eastern Conference with a 6-3-2 record.
It was the defensive woes from a team that has invested mostly in an attack that appeared early. It took less than a minute for the Revolution to find the back of the net via a Thomas Chancalay goal at a narrow angle giving the hosts not just the lead but all of the momentum.
It would last just over half an hour before Messi did what he does — score goals. His eighth goal of the season came in the 32nd minute when he was played into the box and finished easily at the near post in front of 65,000 fans.
In the second half, it was more of the same as Sergio Busquets managed to thread the needle with a stellar through ball, feeding Messi in the box for a nifty finish to the other post.
