Messi doubled his tally during the fifty-second minute, weaving past three defenders before calmly finishing another spectacular individual attacking move. Luis Suárez later added Miami’s fourth goal after Messi supplied an excellent pass during a rapid attacking transition. Seven minutes before full time, Messi completed his hat-trick with a clever chip that left Montréal goalkeeper helpless.
