FLORIDA: Jordi Alba and Tadeo Allende each had two goals to lead host Inter Miami to a 4-1 victory over the New England Revolution last night in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The victory snapped a two-match winless streak for Inter Miami (17-7-8, 59 points), which moved into third place in the Eastern Conference standings.
With two matches to play, Miami trails FC Cincinnati by three points for second place.
Cincinnati has one match left.
Dor Turgeman scored the lone goal for New England (9-16-8, 35 points) as the Revolution came up short of victory for the fifth time in their past six matches.
Lionel Messi did not score for the second consecutive match, but he contributed by assisting on three of Inter Miami&#8217;s goals.
On the first goal, under a torrential downspout late in the first half, Messi delivered a precise through ball on the run to Allende, who fired the ball past New England goalkeeper Matt Turner in the 32nd minute.
Just before halftime, Messi intercepted a clearing attempt by New England near its own goal.
He then dropped it back for Alba, who proceeded to bury it in the back of the net in the third minute of first-half stoppage time.
The Revolution put themselves back in contention for a victory in the 59th minute on a brilliant shot by Turgeman after he took the ball just past midfield from Carles Gil.
As Turgeman worked the ball near Miami&#8217;s box, he fired a line drive past Inter Miami goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo to cut the deficit to 2-1.
Rios Novo got the start in favor of Inter Miami&#8217;s regular starting keeper Oscar Ustari, who allowed a season-high five goals last Tuesday in a 5-3 loss to the Chicago Fire.
Inter Miami answered almost immediately. Within less than a minute, a rush up the field ended with Allende streaking toward the goal and finishing another assist from Messi.
Three minutes later, Alba tacked on another score off a great pass from Telasco Segovia.
