The MLS quarterfinal playoff match between Cincinnati and Inter Miami took place last night. The game ended in a convincing 4-0 victory for the Herons.
Inter Miami's Argentine captain and leader, Lionel Messi, scored a goal and provided three assists, making him the joint all-time leading assist provider in football history.
Following this game, the Argentine brought his total number of assists to 404, matching the record held by legendary Hungarian forward Ferenc Puskas.
Many statistical sources attribute this number of assists to Ferenc Puskas, but this cannot be officially confirmed by match reports, unlike the achievements of Lionel Messi.
Thus, the 38-year-old Argentine's next assist will secure him the absolute lead for all-time assists in football history.
