Julian Hall became the youngest player to score an MLS hat trick

Also in the Eastern Conference, Lionel Messi scored two goals and provided an assist as Inter Miami secured a 5-3 win over Cincinnati to move into second place in the table, two points behind leaders Nashville.

It said the ball went off the post and wasn’t initially crossing the line until Celentano made accidental contact, effectively turning the ball into his own net.

Argentine Messi has 11 goals and four assists in 12 league games for Miami this season, taking his career total to 909 goals and 411 assists.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Kavan Sullivan scored his first MLS goal in the bottom-half Philadelphia Union’s 4-3 win over Orlando City.

Sullivan, who became the youngest MLS player two years ago, was a first-half substitute and scored in the 75th minute.

“Even though it wasn’t the result we wanted, I’m grateful to score my first MLS goal,” he said wrote on Instagram., outsider
